write out the equation

Question

write out the equation

please show the steps taken to solve the problem

A small airplane flies at a velocity of 145 km/h toward the south as observed by a person on the ground. the airplane pilot measures an air velocity of 172 km/h south. What is the velocity of the wind that affects the plane?

thnks

Answer 1

I barely remember anything from physics class last year, but wouldn't you subtract the difference between the two velocities? So the wind speed would be 27 km/h north, because it is hitting directly against the plane in the opposite direction. I think.

Answer 2

i have no clue myself

i was having trouble with these kind of questions..thnks for your help though

Answer 3

No problem :)

Answer 4

Emily remembers more than she thinks. She is right.
