Plane flies 75 m/s

Now imagine that you want to fly this 500+500 = 1000 km round trip along a north-south line, and the wind is 50 m/s per second from the west. At what angle will you have to align the plane so that it will move along a north-south line even though there is a cross wind of 50 m/s? If you are standing on the ground watching the plane fly with that cross-wind, the plane will look strange. Why? What will be the plane’s speed relative to the ground in that situation? How long will it take to fly each 500 km leg of the trip and the round trip? This question has been answered one other time that I can find, but that response is not very clear to me. Please help! Thank you in advance!

    A model airplane competition has the following rules: Each plane must fly to a point 1 km from the start and then back again. The point km winner is the plane with the shortest round-trip time. The contestants are free to launch their planes in any direction, so long as the plane travels exactly 1 km out and then returns. On the day of the race, a steady wind blows from the north at 8.5 m/s. Your plane can maintain...

    A plane flies with a constant speed of 120.0 m/s relative to the air. The plane needs to get to an airport straight south of its current location. When the plane encounters a wind from the west with a wind speed of 29.0 m/s, the pilot makes the necessary corrections to ensure the plane will get to the desired destination. With this correction, what is the new speed of the plane relative to the ground? Calculate the answer in meters...

    A small airplane is flying at a constant altitude with a ground speed of 75 m/s. The pilot needs to reach a point exactly 100 km north of her current location. However, there is a cross wind blowing at 20 m/s in a direction 30 degrees north of east. a. In what direction should the pilot point the plane so that she arrives at her destination as directly as possible. b. How long does it take to complete this part...
