Question

A drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind. The wind is blowing 6 m/s due North with respects to the ground. What is the speed of the drone with repeat to the ground? A. 14m/s B. 10m/s C. 2m/s D. 20m/s

Answer 1

v=10 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a drone is 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind

Speed of a drone 6 m/s due North with respect to the ground.

We need to find the speed of the drone with respect to the ground. Let v is the speed. It is given by the resultant of two speeds.

`v=√(8^2+6^2) \\\\v=10\ m/s`

So, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is 10 m/s.
