a.
Velocity of airplane relative to ground.
a.
Answer to Problem 31PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Speed of plane relative to air is
Tailwind is
Formula Used:
Relative velocity of airplane with respect to ground can be obtained by:
Where,
Calculations:
Since tailwind is in plane’s direction. So, velocity of plane relative to ground is given as
Conclusion:Velocity of airplane relative to ground is
b.
Velocity of plane relative to ground.
b.
Answer to Problem 31PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Velocity of plane relative to air is
Headwind is
Formula Used:
Relative velocity of airplane with respect to ground can be obtained by:
Where,
Calculations:
Since headwind is opposite to plane’s direction. So, velocity of plane relative to ground is given as,
Conclusion:Velocity of plane relative to ground
