Question

A plane initially traveling at 200 m/s due west experiences a 10 m/s head wind coming from the opposite direction. A). What will be the relative velocity of the plane from the frame of reference of a bystander in the ground looking at the plane when it experiences the head wind current? B) Will the plane be late, on time or early after the wind current?

Answer 1

Ok so it would be late and the relative velocity would be 190 m/s because 200 m/s - 10 m/s is 190 m/s. Hope this helps.
