Answer:
.
Explanation:
Refer to the first diagram:
The direction of the plane's velocity relative to the air is normal to vector . Therefore, the component of the plane's velocity (relative to the air) in that direction will equal zero. Thus
Refer to the second diagram,
Assume that the wind blows horizontally. The direction of the wind will be normal to vector . The component of the velocity of the wind in the direction of vector will thus equal zero. Therefore,
The ground speed of the plane is the sum of and .
