Problema Solution
If a planes traveling 300 mph and has to travel 150 miles and winds blowing 69 miles an hour at the plane how long will it take to get there
Answer provided by our tutors
if the wind is blowing at the tale of the plane (tale wind) then the speed of the trip will be
v = 300 + 69 = 369 mph
d = 150 miles
t = d/v
t = 150/369
t = 0.41 hours
t = 24.39 min
if the wind is blowing at the head of the plane (head wind) then the speed of the trip will be
v = 300 - 69 = 231 mph
d = 150 miles
t = d/v
t = 150/231
t = 0.65 hours
t = 38.96 min
