Question

An airplane travels with a constant velocity of 210 m/s and in the upper atmosphere where the plane is traveling there is a wind that is blowing at a constant velocity of 60 m/s to the east. Determine the resultant velocity for the plane when it is traveling

Answer 1

hello your question is incomplete the options are missing

Determine the resultant velocity for the plane when it is travelling

i) To the east

ii) To the west

answer :i) 270 i

ii) -150 i

Step-by-step explanation:

velocity of Airplane = 210 m/s

wind velocity = 60 m/s to the east

The resultant velocity for the plane when it is travelling

let the velocity of the wind = V2

velocity of the plane = v1

i) The resultant velocity for the plane when travelling to the east

Vr = V2 i + V1 i

Vr= 60i + 210i = 270i

ii) resultant velocity when the plane is travelling to the west

Vr = - V1 i + V2i

= -210i + 60 i = -150 i
