An airplane is heading due south at a speed of 680 km/h .

A. If a wind begins blowing from the southwest at a speed of 90 km/h (average), calculate the velocity (magnitude) of the plane relative to the ground.

B. Calculate the velocity (direction) of the plane relative to the ground.

C. Calculate how far from its intended position will it be after 18 min if the pilot takes no corrective action.

8. Consider an airplane whose takeoff speed is 220 km/h and that takes 15 s to take off at sea level. For an airport at an elevation of 1600 m (such as Denver), determine (a) the takeoff speed, (b) the takeoff time, and (c) the addition al runway length required for this airplane. Assume constant acceleration for both cases.
