Title: Velocity Vectors

Suppose there is a small airplane flying north at 80 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a tailwind blowing north at

20 [m/s] what would the final velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying north at 60 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a tailwind blowing north at

15 [m/s] what would the final velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying north at 80 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a headwind blowing at 20

[m/s] what would the final velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying north at 100 [m/s], relative to the

surrounding air. If there was a headwind blowing at 8 [m/s] what would the final

velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying west at 80 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a crosswind blowing south at 20

[m/s] what would the final velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying north at 65 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a crosswind blowing west at

50 [m/s] what would the final velocity be?

Suppose there is a small airplane flying east at 75 [m/s], relative to the surrounding air. If there was a crosswind blowing north at 40

[m/s] what would the final velocity be?
