A light plane is headed due south with a speed of 200 km/h relative to still air. After 1.00 hour, the pilot notices that they have covered only 137 km and their direction is not south but 15.0∘ east of south. What is the wind velocity?

the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

Explanation: The initial velocity of the plane is 200km/h south (supose that south is our positive x-axis here and east is the positive y-axis)

In one hour, the plane is located 137km away from the initial position, and the position in X is equal to 137km*cos(15°) = 132.33, this means that the velocity in the x axis is equal to 132.33 km/h, knowing that the initial velocity of the plane was 200km in the x-axis, this means that the velocity of the air must be:

132.33km/h - 200km/h = -67.69km/h

km and the position in "y" is equal to 137km*sin(15°) = 35.4km

This means that the velocity of the air in the y-axis is 35.4km/h

So the total velocity of the air is 67.69km/h to the north and 35.4km/h to the east.

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!

if the person is shown to have +90n, then ans is -10n.

if the person is shown to have -90n, then ans is +10n.
