Question: A jet is flying through a wind that is blowing with a speed of 5 0 m i h in the direction N 3 0

A jet is flying through a wind that is blowing with a speed of 50mih in the direction N30E(see the following figure).
i)
The jet has a speed of 770mih relative to the air, and the pilot heads the jet in the direction N45E.(Assume that the i vector points east, and the j vector points north.)
(a) Express the velocity of the wind as a vector in component form.
(b) Express the velocity of the jet relative to the air as a vector in component form.
(c) Find the true velocity of the jet as a vector. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
(d) Find the true speed of the jet (in mih).(Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
mih
Find the direction of the jet (in degrees E of N).(Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
N - E
