Answer to Question #235000 in Physics for joas

Question

A plane initially travelling at 200 m/s due west experiences a 10 m/s head wind as shown below.

 

Refer to the information and diagram shown above. Assuming the plane is traveling directly toward its destination and on schedule before experiencing the wind, the plane will most likely be —

Answer 1

The resultant speed of the plane will be 10 m/s smaller, or 190 m/s, which means that the plane will most likely be late.
