Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...
A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.
If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.
There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.
Answer:
θ = 4.78º
with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north
Explanation:
This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.
The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed
v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²
v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²
Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane
sin θ = v_air / v_fly
θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)
let's calculate
θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)
θ = 4.78º
with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east
