2. Peter is a pilot. He needs to deliver emergency supplies to a location that is 1000km away, N 30° W from his air base. The speed of the plane is set to ! 600km/h. The wind velocity is 40km/h at 050°. Determine (i) the direction of the plane (ii) the magnitude of the ground velocity and (iii) Will Peter be able to make the delivery within 2 hours? Justify your responds.

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.
