1. Notes: Monday, November 26, 2012 Title: Velocity Vectors

2. 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?

3. 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?

4. 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?

5. 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?

6. 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?

7. 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?

8. 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?
