A student is flying west on a school trip from Winnipeg to Calgary in a jet that has an air velocity of 792 km/h. The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h [N] is ° S of W. (give your answer with the correct number of significant digits and do not include units)

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] is 4.5° S of W

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

Velocity of Jet = 792 km/h

Direction of jet velocity = West

Velocity of wind = 62.0 km/h

Direction of wind velocity = North

Therefore, the jet has to have a component of 62.0 km/h South of West to compensate for the wind velocity

The direction of the plane, θ° South of West (S of W) to compensate for the wind is given as follows;

Therefore;

The direction the plane would have to fly to compensate for a wind velocity of 62.0 km/h[N] = 4.5° S of W.

whichever one it is, it's definitely not one that you included on the list you provided.

wavelength divides in half and speed stays the same.
