What causes winds to deviate from straight-line path?
Thunderstorms :)
A plane headed due E is traveling at airspeed of 190 mph The winds are moving with constant speed in the direction 240 degrees If the ground speed of the plane is 95mph what is the speed of the winds?
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.
