Amelia flies her airplane through calm skies at a velocity v1. The direction of v1 is 15 degrees north of east, and the speed is 180 km/hr.
Eventually, however, she enters a windy part of the atmosphere and finds that her plane now moves at a velocity v2. The direction of v2 is due east, and the speed is 150 km/hr.

What is the speed of the wind?

In what direction is the wind blowing?
(between 0 and 360 degrees)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Initially Plane is flying at the speed of [tex]180\ km/hr[/tex]

to the [tex]15^{\circ}[/tex] North of east

Now wind started Blowing and plane started moving towards east with speed [tex]150\ km/hr[/tex]

suppose [tex]1v_o[/tex] is the speed of wind

So,

[tex]\vec{v_2}=\vec{v_1}-\vec{v_o}[/tex]

[tex]150\hat{i}=180[\cos 15\hat{i}+\sin 15\hat{j}]-\vec{v_o}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{v_o}=\hat{i}[180\cos 15-150]+\hat{j}[180\sin 15][/tex]

[tex]\vec{v_o}=\hat{i}[173.866-150]+46.58\hat{j}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{v_o}=23.86\hat{i}+46.58\hat{j}[/tex]

So magnitude of wind is

[tex]\mid v_o\mid=\sqrt{23.86^2+46.58^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mid v_o\mid=\sqrt{2738.996}[/tex]

[tex]\mid v_o\mid=52.33\ km/hr[/tex]

direction [tex]\tan \theta=\frac{46.58}{23.86}[/tex]

[tex]\theta =62.87^{\circ}[/tex] North of east
