Question 1103790
A plane travels at a speed of 205 MPH in still air. Flying with a tailwind, the plane is clocked over a distance of 950 miles. Flying against a headwind, it takes 2 hours longer to complete the return trip. what was the wind velocity?
-----------
tailwind and headwind are the commonly used terms in aviation.
------
"with a tailwind" borders on redundancy because it's flying "with the wind."
---
"against a headwind" is redundant, but not seriously.
--------
"wind velocity" is not correct, it's wind speed.
Velocity is a vector that includes speed and direction, not just speed.
--------
205 MPH in still air - "in still air" is the airspeed of the plane.
Planes don't use MPH, or miles/hour.  They use knots.
