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.

Why do we need the periodic table? First to answer get brainless!!!!!
mylen [45]
<span>The periodic table is the most important chemistry reference there is. It arranges all the known elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass.

"A ball with a mass of 0.1 kg is rolling at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its
Mumz [18]

Answer:

velocity

Explanation:

because the si unit of mass is kg, velocity is m/s, acceleration is m/S2 , moment is kgm2/s . so 5 is given as velocity.
