An airbus A320 jet maintains a constant speed of
per hour headed due west.
(a)
\Consider the direction west is along the negative
-axis.
Therefore, the velocity of the bus relative to the air is
.
The velocity of the airbus
has magnitude
in southeast direction.
Hence the angle between the
and
is
.
Therefore, the velocity
interms of
and
as

(b) Find the velocity of the A320 relative to the ground.
\The velocity of the A320 relative to the ground
is
.
Substitute
and
