An airplane is heading due west. The airplane's speed relative to the air is 150.0 km/h. If there is a wind of 24.4km/h toward the north, what is a) the magnitude (km/h)
I used the equation sqrt 150.0^2+24.4^2 =151.97
b)what is the direction (degrees measured from west) of the velocity of the plane relative to the ground?
tan-1(24.4/150.0)=9.23 Would you add 90degrees to this =99.23
