Question

A paper airplane is thrown westward at a rate of 6 m/s. The wind is blowing at 8 m/s towards the north. Which of the following diagrams best illustrates the actual path of the airplane?

Answer 1

since airplane is thrown towards west with speed 6 m/s

while air is blowing with speed 8 m/s towards north

so here the net speed of air plane will be the resultant of airplane speed and wind speed always

SO here we can say it would be a combination of vector along west with must be of length 6 m/s and other vector is towards north with is of length 8 m/s

so correct answer must be 1st option
