For this problem, you should use Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula for this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

The plane is moving north, and then moves to the right. Therefore, we need to find the hypotenuse, or resultant velocity. Plugging it into the equation we get, (245 m/s)^2 + (55 m/s)^2 = c^2

Solving for this, you will get 250 m/s.

Answers.
a. The electric field between the plates of a parallel capacitor is uniform
b. A capacitor is a device that stores potential energy and electric charges.
c. The capacitance of a capacitor depends upon its structure.

Explanation 
Capacitor is a device that is used to store electric charge. The capacitance that can be stored in a capacitor depend on area of overlap of the plates, dielectric used and distance between the two plates of a parallel capacitor.
From the choices given in the question the one that applies are:
a. The electric field between the plates of a parallel capacitor is uniform
b. A capacitor is a device that stores potential energy and electric charges.
c. The capacitance of a capacitor depends upon its structure.
