Question

You are sitting in an Aeroplane flying at the rate of 900 km/h in calm conditions due east. Suddenly a cold wind blows at the rate in the NorthEast and pushes the plane off from its original path, 50 km/h. How can we describe the motion of the plane and wind?

Option 1: The plane is experiencing uniform linear motion, while the wind is undergoing circular motion.
Option 2: Both the plane and the wind are experiencing uniform linear motion in different directions.
Option 3: The plane is experiencing accelerated motion, while the wind is experiencing decelerated motion.
Option 4: Both the plane and the wind are experiencing uniform circular motion in the same direction.

Answer 1

The correct description for the airplane's motion affected by the wind is that both are experiencing uniform linear motion in different directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To describe the motion of the airplane and wind that affects it: The airplane is flying due east at a speed of 900 km/h. When hit by a crosswind blowing from the northeast at 50 km/h, the motion of the airplane deviates from its straight-line path. Considering the wind's influence, the correct description of the motions of both the airplane and the wind is represented by Option 2: Both the plane and the wind are experiencing uniform linear motion in different directions. The wind is moving in a straight line from the northeast, affecting the plane's trajectory, and the plane's path becomes a resultant vector of its original velocity with that of the wind's push.
