Asked by Penn
a small plane flies due south with a speed of 112 m/s while a tailwind blows due south at 31 m/s. Draw and label a vector diagram and calculate the magnitude and direction of the plane's resultant velocity

Cannot draw diagrams on these posts.

Since both the flight direction and the wind are due south, just add the two velocities to get
143 m/s
draw a straight line pointing south, and label its length as 142
btw, 112 m/s for a small plane
= 112(60)(60) or 403200 m/h
= 403 km/h or appr 250 mph, average speed of a small plane is about 150 mph
and a windspeed of 31 m/s is appr 87 km/h
result: a very fast small plane flying in a hurricane.
