An airplane is flying due west at a velocity of 100 m/s. The wind is blowing out of the south at 5 m/s. What is the magnitude of
the airplane’s resultant velocity?

Answer:
Resultant velocity of the airplane is 100.12 m/s.
Step-by-step explanation:
As we can see in the picture attached an airplane is flying due west with a velocity of 100 m/s.
The wind is blowing out of south at 5 m/s then we have to calculate the resultant velocity of the airplane.
R = √(100²+ 5²) = √10000+25 = √10025 = 100.12 m/s
