If an aircraft is flying at 400 miles/hour and encounters a head wind of 40 miles/hour, what is the resultant ground speed?

1 answer:

8 0

Look at it this way:

Every time the plane flies through 400 miles of air,
the air moves it 40 miles backwards.
So it only covers 360 miles of ground in an hour.

Earth is closest to the sun at the point in its orbit called the "perihelion" .

Our planet passes that point in its orbit sometime during the first few days
of January.

Here the dates of perihelion passage in 2018 and the next few years.
The times are Central Daylight Time (Chicago & Dallas time).

2018 January 2, 2018 11:34 pm
