The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Supposethat a wind is blowing in from the direction at a speed of 50 km/h. (This meansthat the direction from which the wind blows is west of the northerly direction.) Apilot is steering a plane in the direction at an airspeed (speed in still air) of250 km/h
