An airplane is flying on a bearing of 170 degrees at 460 mph. A wind is blowing with a bearing of 200 degrees at 80 mph. Find the component form of the velocity of the plane. Then, find the actual speed and direction of the plane.

This link is to the video the can help you out with vector directions: http://www.brightstorm.com/science/physics/linear-and-projectile-motion/vector-direction/ Remember to convert your mph to kph and then to m/s! :-) So draw out the vectors and their angles so you can see their relationship, and then use the pythagorean theorem to calculate the speed of the resultant vector. Here is the link for the video about resultant vectors: http://www.brightstorm.com/science/physics/newtons-laws-of-motion/net-force-resultant-force/
