Question

An airplane flies with a velocity of 55.0 m/s [ 35° N of W] with respect to the air (this is

Answer 1

Answer:

21 m/s.  

Explanation:

The computation of the wind velocity is shown below:

But before that, we need to find out the angles between the vectors

53° - 35° = 18°

Now we have to sqaure it i.e given below

v^2 = 55^2 + 40^2 - 2 · 55 · 40 · cos 18°

v^2 = 3025 + 1600 - 2 · 55 · 40 · 0.951

v^2 = 440.6

v = √440.6

v = 20.99

≈ 21 m/s

Hence, The wind velocity is 21 m/s.
