A plane is capable of moving at a speed of 230 m/s in still air. It is on course to move due east (relative to the earth) despite a wind of 47 m/s which is blowing from the north.
What is the speed of the plane relative to the ground?
At what angle is the nose of the plane pointed? (Define direction relative to the east, with positive being north of east. Give angle in degrees)
I got 234.75 m/s and -11.55 degrees, but the computer is telling me I'm wrong, any help?
