A plane's engines allow it to fly at 450km/hr. If the wind is blowing at 30.0 degrees east of north at 125 km/hr and the pilot aims the plane 25.0 degrees north of east, then what is the plane's resultant velocity? (give both magnitude and direction, wait until the end to round your answer)

    The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/h. (This means that the direction from which the wind blows is 45° west of the northerly direction.) A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E at an airspeed (speed in still air) of 100 km/h. The true course, or track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors...

    an airplane pilot wishes to fly due south. A wind of 25 km/h is blowing toward the west. If the flying speed of the plane is 300.0 km/h (its speed in still air), in what direction should the pilot head? answer is 85 degrees South of East using inverse cosine, but I'm not sure how it was done. I'm having a hard time making a diagram/visualizing so please include diagrams and your reasoning behind the answer.

    The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 54-km/h wind blowing toward the south. If the speed of the aircraft relative to the air is 177 km/h, (a) in what direction (degrees north of west) should the aircraft head, and (b) what will be its speed (km/h) relative to the ground? Caution: The speed relative to the air is not the same as the speed relative to the ground. The pilot wishes to fly due west...

    The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/h. (This means that the direction from which the wind blows is 45° west of the northerly direction.) A pilot is steering a plane in the direction N60°E at an airspeed (speed in still air) of 150 km/h. The true course, or track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors...
