A commercial jet is flying from Miami to Seattle. The jet’s velocity with respect to the air is 580
miles per hour, and its bearing is𝟑𝟑𝟐°. The wind, at the altitude of the plane, is blowing from the
southwest (hint: going NW @45) with a velocity of 60 miles per hour.

8. Draw a figure that gives a visual representation of the situation above.

9. Find the component form of the airplane.
10. Find the component form of the wind.
11. Find the resultant vector of the actual path of the airplane.
12. What is the speed of the jet with respect to the ground?
13. What is the true direction of the jet?

An airplane is flying in the Bearing of 𝟏𝟒𝟖° with an airspeed of 860 kilometers per hour. Because
of the wind, its groundspeed and bearing are 800 kilometers per hour and𝟏𝟒𝟎°, respectively.

14. Find the direction of the wind.

15. Find the speed of the wind.
