Then on the return trip, flying against the wind, it traveled only 640 miles in 5 hours. What were the wind velocity and the speed of the plane? \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "Find the 2 groundspeeds, upwind and downwind. \n" ); document.write( "The plane's airspeed is the average of the 2. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Windspeed is the difference between airspeed and groundspeed. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
