A sailboat is heading directly north at a speed of 20 knots (1 knot= 0.514 m/s). The wind is blowing towards the east with a speed of17 knots.
(a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the wind velocity asmeasured on the boat. magnitude 1 knots
direction 2
50Â° north of east
50Â° south of east
30Â° north of east
50Â° west of north
.

(b) What is the component of the wind velocity in the directionparallel to the motion of the boat?
3 knots

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 30 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 200 km/h. The true course, or track, of the plane is the direction of the resultant of the velocity vectors of the plane and the wind. The ground speed of the plane is the magnitude of the resultant. Find the true course and the ground speed of the plane. Give your answers correct to one decimal place?
