1) The north component of the airplane velocity is 260 km/h.
2) The direction of the plane is
north of east.
Explanation:
1)
In this problem, we have to resolve the velocity vector into its components.
Taking east as positive x-direction and north as positive y-direction, the components of the velocity along the two directions are given by:
![v_x = v cos \theta](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_x%20%3D%20v%20cos%20%5Ctheta)
![v_y = v sin \theta](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_y%20%3D%20v%20sin%20%5Ctheta)
where
v is the magnitude of the velocity
is the angle between the direction of the velocity and the positive x-axis (the east direction)
For the airplane in this problem,
v = 750 km/h
![\theta=20^{\circ}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctheta%3D20%5E%7B%5Ccirc%7D)
So, the two components are
![v_x = (750)(cos 20)=704.8 km/h](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_x%20%3D%20%28750%29%28cos%2020%29%3D704.8%20km%2Fh)
![v_y = (750)(sin 20)=256.5 km/h](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_y%20%3D%20%28750%29%28sin%2020%29%3D256.5%20km%2Fh)
So, the component in the north direction is 256.5 km/h, so approximately 260 km/h.
2)
In this problem, we have to use vector addition.
In fact, the motion of the plane consists of two displacements:
- A first displacement of 220 km in the east direction
- A second displacement of 100 km in the north direction
Using the same convention of the same problem (x = east and y = north), we can write
![d_x = 220 km](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d_x%20%3D%20220%20km)
![d_y = 100 km](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d_y%20%3D%20100%20km)
Since the two vectors are perpendicular to each other, we can find their magnitude using Pythagorean's theorem:
![d=\sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}=\sqrt{(220)^2+(100)^2}=241.7 km](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=d%3D%5Csqrt%7Bd_x%5E2%2Bd_y%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%7B%28220%29%5E2%2B%28100%29%5E2%7D%3D241.7%20km)
And the direction is given by
north of east.
