If an airplane is flying at 300 km/h to the east and is facing a headwind of 18.0 km/h, what is the airplane's final velocity?

1 answer:

8 0

If an airplane is flying at 300 km/h to the east and is facing a headwind of 18.0 km/h, the final velocity can be calculated using simple vector addition. In this case, the planes velocity is positive (+330 km/h) and head wind has a negative component (-18.0 km/h). Vector addition yields +330 km / h + (-18.0 km /h) = 312 km / h.
