Question

An airplane travels with a constant velocity of 210 m/s and in the upper atmosphere where the plane is traveling there is a wind that is blowing at a constant velocity of 60 m/s to the east. Determine the resultant velocity for the plane when it is traveling

Answer 1

Answer:

hello your question is incomplete the options are missing

Determine the resultant velocity for the plane when it is travelling

i) To the east

ii) To the west

answer :i)  270 i

             ii)  -150 i

Explanation:

velocity of Airplane = 210 m/s

wind velocity = 60 m/s to the east

The resultant velocity for the plane when it is travelling  

let the velocity of the wind = V2

           velocity of the plane = v1

i) The resultant velocity for the plane when travelling to the east

Vr = V2 i  + V1 i

Vr= 60i + 210i  = 270i

ii) resultant velocity when the plane is travelling to the west

Vr = - V1 i + V2i

     = -210i  + 60 i = -150 i
