Question

An airplane normally flying 80km/h north encounters a wind from the west of 10km/h at a right angle to its forward motion a crosswind what will it's resultant velocity be?

Answer 1

Resultant velocity of the airplane = 80.62 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An airplane normally flying at 80 km/h north encounters a wind from the west of 10km/h at right angle to its forward motion a crosswind.

We need to find the resultant velocity of the airplane. It can be calculated as follows :

`v=√(80^2+10^2) \\\\v=80.62\ km/h`

So, the required velocity is 80.62 km/h.
