Answer to Question #17773 in Mechanics | Relativity for Alex

Question

A plane, starting at some point in its flight, turns and flies 200 mi in a direction of 30º north of east. How much farther north does it end up from where it started its turn?

Answer 1

Actually we have triangle with angle 300. Hypotenuse is 200 mi and we need to find side of triangle
200mi* cos300=0,15425145*200=30,85
