Question

A plane is heading south with a velocity of 150 kilometers/hour. It experiences a tallwind with a velocity of 20 kilometers/hour. Find the resultant
velocity of the plane.

A.120 kilometers/hour to the south

B.148 kilometers/hour to the north

C.170 kilometers/hour to the south

D.130 kilometers/hour to the north
E.150 kilometers/hour to the south

Answer 1

Answer: 170km/hr to the South

Explanation:

The resultant velocity of the plane ilwill be gotten by adding the value of the velocities of the plane with the tallwind. It should be noted that the direction of the wind is.takwn into consideration.

Therefore, the resultant velocity of the plane will be:

= 20km/hr + 150km/hr

= 170km/hr to the South
