Rate*Time=Distance
\n" ); document.write( "Vp-Velocity of the plane in still air
\n" ); document.write( "Vw-Velocity of Wind
\n" ); document.write( "With the wind, the velocities add,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28Vp%2BVw%29%2A4=600\"
\n" ); document.write( "Against the wind, the velocities subtract,
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28Vp-Vw%29%2A7=600\"
