An airplane is flying due west at a velocity of 100 m/s. the wind is blowing out of the south at 5 m/s. what is the magnitude of the airplane’s resultant velocity?

Resultant velocity of the airplane is 100.12 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the picture attached an airplane is flying due west with a velocity of 100 m/s.

The wind is blowing out of south at 5 m/s then we have to calculate the resultant velocity of the airplane.

R = √(100²+ 5²) = √10000+25 = √10025 = 100.12 m/s
