A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) If it takes the bird 18.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the earth, what is the velocity (in m/s) of the wind? m/s (b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long (in s) will he take to return 6.00 km? S (c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
