Answer to Question #239170 in Physics for James

Question #239170

To motorcycle traveling due north at 50 km/h the wind appears to come from northwest at 60 km/h. What is the true velocity of the wind

Expert's answer

The true velocity of the wind is

"\\vec{w}=\\frac{w_a-v}{\\cos\\theta}=\\frac{60-50}{\\cos45\u00b0}=14.1\\text{ m\/s W}"
