Find the Resultant of Two Vectors HIKING While hiking in the woods, Shelly walks 2 kilometers N30°W from her camp, and then walks 2 kilometers directly east. How far and at what quadrant bearing is Shelly from her camp? Let p = walking 2 kilometers N30°W and q = walking 2 kilometers due east. Draw a diagram to represent p and q using a scale of 1 cm : 1 km. Example 3

Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems AVIATION An airplane is flying with an airspeed of 475 miles per hour on a heading of 070°. If an 80-mile-per-hour wind is blowing from a true heading of 120°, determine the velocity and direction of the plane relative to the ground. Step 1Draw a diagram to represent the heading and wind velocities. Example 5
Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems Translate the wind vector as shown in the diagram below, and use the triangle method to obtain the resultant vector representing the plane’s ground velocity and direction g. In the triangle formed by these vectors, γ= 120° – 70° or 50°. Example 5
Take the positive square root of each side. Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems Step 2Use the Law of Cosines to find |g|, the plane’s speed relative to the ground. c 2 = a2 + b2 – 2abcos γ Law of Cosines |g|2 = 802 + 4752 – 2(80)(475)cos 50° c = |g|, a = 80, b = 475, and γ = 50° Example 5
Law of Sines c = |g| or 428.0, a = 80, and γ = 50 Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems ≈ 428.0 Simplify. The ground speed of the plane is about 428.0 miles per hour. Step 3The heading of the resultant g is represented by angle θ, as shown above. To find θ, first calculate α using the Law of Sines. Example 5
Solve for sin α. Apply the inverse sine function. Simplify. Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems The measure of θ is 70° – α, which is 70° – 8.2° or 61.8°. Therefore, the speed of the plane relative to the ground is about 428.0 miles per hour at about 061.8°. Example 5
Use Vectors to Solve Navigation Problems Answer:The velocity of the plane relative to the ground is about 428.0 miles per hour at a bearing of about 061.8°. Example 5
