A plane has a velocity of 951km/h in a direction 35 degrees west of north. What is the north component of the plane?

v – vector of velocity
The north component of a vector v is given as ∣v∣ cosθ, where θ is the angle between v and north direction.
Therefore:
vN=vcos35=951∗cos35=779hkm
Answer: 779hkm
