The captain of a plane wishes to proceed due west. the cruising speed of the plane is 226 m/s relative to the air. a weather report indicates that a 31.0-m/s wind is blowing from the south to the north. in what direction, measured with respect to due west, should the pilot head the plane?

South of West

Explanation:

We can assume that the cruising speed relative to the air is the same relative to the ground due west.

because the wind will exert a velocity due north, we have to modify our direction in order to avoid that velocity (Vw).

The angle is given by:

from the west, that is [tex]7.81^o[\tex] South of West

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

explanation:

kepler used the data from tycho blahe (his mentor) to construct the laws of planetary motion.
