Problem: Airbus A380 which made its first test flight on April 27, 2005, is the largest passenger airliner in the world. Two wind conditions (tailwind and headwind) affected the plane's speed. Below are possible scenarios of velocities (speed and direction) of the plane, tailwind and headwind. Instructions: Using your own student number, collect the data on plane's velocity (Vp), tailwind's velocity (vt), and headwind's velocity (Vh). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of Airbus A380 with respect to the earth surface (x-axis) given the chosen possible scenario.

Airbus A380 which made its first test flight on April 27, 2005, is the largest passenger airliner in
the world. Two wind conditions (tailwind and headwind) affected the plane's speed. Below are possible
scenarios of velocities (speed and direction) of the plane, tailwind and headwind.
Instructions:
Using your own student number, collect the data on plane's velocity (Vp), tailwind's velocity (vt),
and headwind's velocity (Vh). Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant velocity of Airbus
A380 with respect to the earth surface (x-axis) given the chosen possible scenario.
