Question
A jumbo jet maintains a constant airspeed of
550
miles per hour​ (mi/hr) headed due north. The jet stream is
110
​mi/hr in the northeasterly direction.
 
(a) 
Express the velocity
va
of the jet relative to the air and the velocity
vw
of the jet stream in terms of i and
j.
(b) 
Find the velocity of the jet relative to the ground.
 
 
​(a) Find
va.
 
va=nothing
​(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in the form ai​ + bj. Type an exact​ answer, using radicals as​ needed.)
 
Find
vw.
 
vw=nothing
​(Simplify your answer. Type your answer in the form ai​ + bj. Type an exact​ answer, using radicals as​ needed.)
 
​(b) Find the velocity of the jet relative to the ground.
 
vg=nothing
