    Name Key _____ Block a @ Application of Vectors WS 1) The figure shows a small plane flying at a speed of 180 miles per hour at a bearing of N50°E. The wind is blowing from west to east at 40 miles per hour. The figure indicates that v represents the velocity of the plane and w represents the velocity of the wind. a. Write v and w in component form, Y= 180 Ccos4o,singo> = 4O<1,0> V= <137-84, 115.72 = L4o0,0> b. Find the resultant vector v + w. ¢. The magnitude of v + w, called the ground speed, gives its speed relative to the ground. Calculate the ground speed. ee (las =f 197.8974 15,77 ={ 212, 2 mph e. The direction angle of v + w gives the plane’s true course relative to the ground. Calculate the plane’s true bearing.
