Question 552049: a plane flies the first half of a 5600 km flight into the wind in 3.5 hours. the return trip, with the same wind, takes 2.5 hours. find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a plane flies the first half of a 5600 km flight into the wind in 3.5 hours. the return trip, with the same wind, takes 2.5 hours. find the speed of the wind and the speed of the plane in still air
-----------
Find the 2 groundspeeds using d = r*t
r = d/t
---------
The plane's airspeed is the average.
The windspeed is the difference between the groundspeed and the airspeed.
