Answer:

1030 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The new velocity equals the initial velocity plus the wind velocity.

First, in the x (east) direction:

vₓ = 335 mph + 711 cos 19° mph

vₓ = 1007 mph

And in the y (north) direction:

vᵧ = 0 mph + 711 sin 19° mph

vᵧ = 231 mph

The net speed can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1007 mph)² + (231 mph)²

v ≈ 1030 mph
