A cargo plane has a speed relative to the air of 222km/h as it flies North. The wind on this day was heading South at 33km/h. Inside the plane, a skateboard rolls along the floor toward the front of the plane at 14km/h. A cockroach on top of the skateboard is scared from the skateboard moving and starts sprinting South at 15.0km/h. a. Determine the velocity of the cockroach relative to the plane b. Determine the velocity of the skateboard relative to the wind c. Determine the velocity Earth relative to the cockroach (careful – check the question wording carefully!)
