Calculate the total distance and direction of the plane's flight after traveling north and east. Discuss how wind from the north can affect the flight path.
The total distance R traveled can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, after flying 40.0 km in a direction 60° north of east and then 30.0 km in a direction 15° north of east, the total distance R is approximately 51.2 km.
The direction of the straight-line path to the final position can be found by calculating the angle using trigonometry. The direction in this scenario would be north of the east direction.
Wind from the north would affect the flight by altering the plane's direction and speed depending on the wind speed and the plane's speed relative to the air mass.
