A plane is flying to Minnesota with a velocity of 434.21 km/h, North.
The plane encounters a crosswind with a velocity of 93.07 km/h, West.
We are asked to find the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane.
Let us draw a diagram to better understand the problem.
The magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane is given by
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant velocity of the plane is 444.07 m/s
