Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.

A boy jogs 250 meters in 110s what is the average speed
Artyom0805 [142]
The rule to get the average speed is as follows:
average speed = average distance / average time

We are given that:
distance = 250 m
time = 110 sec

Substitute with the givens in the above equation to get the average speed as follows:
average speed = 250/110 = 25/11 meters/sec

A student stands on a scale, and the scale reads 85 N. What is being measured by the scale
Dmitry [639]

Force. Force is measured by newtons, probably because he came up with the equations to calculate force.

Hope this helps!
