Can you explain this problem to me????
A plane travels on a heading of r.o for a distance of 3.00x10^2 km. How far north and how far east does the plane travel????
thank you also.... do you have any sites that will help people who don't understand physics?

Draw out an arrow on a piece of paper representing the heading and the speed.
Now look at the two lines you would have to draw if you travelled the same distance but you wnet north first and then mad a 90 degree turn and went east.
You have just drawn a triangle. You know all the angles and one side distance.
Solve for the triangle. The length of the 2 unkown sides are your answers.

Holden gave you a good answer.
On your other question, allexperts.com has a Physics category. You choose who to send your question to. The people you choose between are qualified volunteers. I am one of the Physics volunteers. In general we spend more time on a reply than here on yahoo.
