An aeroplane flies at 720km/h in an easterly direction .a passenger walks to the back of the plane at 3m/s calculate the velocity of the aeroplane in m/s and the resultant velocity of the passenger in m/a and the distance the aeroplane has flown in 45min
---------------------
calculate the velocity of the aeroplane in m/s
1 km = 1000 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
==========================
the distance the aeroplane has flown in 45min
---
d = r*t
======================
the resultant velocity of the passenger in m/a
Assuming you mean m/sec:
Subtract his speed from the plane's speed.
