To find the speed of the winds, we can use the concept of vector components. The ground speed of the plane (95 mph) is the result of the vector sum of the airspeed of the plane (190 mph) and the speed of the winds (w mph). We can find the horizontal component of the airspeed by multiplying 190 mph by the cosine of the angle between the airspeed and the ground direction (240 - 90 = 150 degrees). Thus, the speed of the winds is 70 mph.

An airlift plane can fly at airspeed of 300 mph If there is a wind blowing towards the east at 50 mph what should be the planes compass heading in order for its course to be 30 degrees?
The wind correction angle for a true course of 30 degrees, with an airspeed of 300, with a wind direction of 90, and with a wind speed of 50, is -8.3 degrees. The indicated course must then be 21.7 degrees. CCORRECTION = sin-1 (VWIND sin (CWIND - CACTUAL) / VINDICATED)
What is the critical angle for light traveling from water into air?

What direction is bearing 315 degrees?
north west
The azimuthal designation for the direction southeast?

What way is it from Bulgaria to Estonia?
You would be traveling North.The exact direction is 2 degrees East of true North.
If you have traveled from 40 degrees north and 80 degrees west and 35 degrees north and 105 degrees west in which direction would you have gone?
i believe you'd be traveling northwest.

If you flying a heading of 270 degrees what direction are you traveling?
You are flying west (start at north, and work your way around clockwise, 90 degrees for every quarter of a circle)
What directions would you be going if you traveled from Bulgaria to Estonia?
You would be traveling North.The exact direction is 2 degrees East of true North.
What is the point of going to the lighthouse to the ship?
The ship is traveling west which means that the ship is traveling at a bearing of 270 degrees. The lighthouse is 10km northwest of the ship at time point 0. Northwest means the lighthouse is at a bearing of 315 degrees from the ship. This means that the angle between the direction the ship is going and the lighthouse is 315 - 270 = 45 degrees.
Which describe acceleration involving only a change in directions?
This type of acceleration occurs when an object is moving around a circle at a constant speed. As the object moves around the circle, the direction of its velocity is constantly changing. This type of acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. The direction of the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. I hope this answers your question. A car traveling 25 MPH turns 30-degrees to the left without losing speed -- it has accelerated.
Can Longitude be counted as high as 210?
It could be, but it never is. If you start at zero and travel 210 degrees of longitude in one direction, that brings you to the place that you could have reached by traveling only 150 degrees in the other direction. Halfway around is 180 degrees, so that's as high as longitude is ever marked, because if you go more than 180 degrees, then it would have been shorter to go less than 180 degrees the other way.
What does wind direction 225 degrees mean?
225 degrees means wind direction is South/West indicating the direction from which the wind is coming. Like 0 or 360 degrees means North direction.
What direction are you traveling from AmarilloTexas to El PasoTexas?
Without benefit of tables, maps, or calculations I would think that the heading from Amarillo, Texas to El Paso, Texas is about Southwest [or about 225 degrees].
What is the direction of 270 degrees?
270 degrees is West.
How can you find the magnitude and the length of the resultant?
