Pilot decreases the air speed of the plane

Reference no: EM13557902

Pilot wants to fly an airplane due north, but there's a 65km/hwind blowing towrd teh east. (a) In what direction should the pilot head the plane if its speed relative to the air is 340km/h?(b) draw a vector diagram to illustrate it. (c) If the pilot decreases the air speed of the plane, but still wants to head duenorth, should the angle found in part (a) be increased ordecreased?

Spring is stretched between two posts : A spring is stretched between two posts. When a pulse is produced at one end of the spring, it makes 4 back-and-forth trips along the spring in 3.4 s. If the pulse has a propagation speed of 12 m/s, how far apart are the posts?
