A pilot is in his plane with the intention of flying to Nunavut. From the current location, Nunavut is [N 9.0W]. The flight tracker estimates the distance from Toronto to Nunavut is approximate 3.0x103km. The plane hasthe capability to fly at an airspeed of 890 km/hr. The pilot aims the plane at a heading [N], and lands in Nunavutdirectly. If the flight takes 3.33 hrs to complete: a. What is the velocity of the plane relative to the Earth? b. What was the wind velocity present on that day?
