Question

An airplane cruises at 850 km/h relative to the air. It is flying 1450 km due east from city A to city B, and will then return. There is a steady 83 km/h wind blowing to the west. What is the difference in flight time between the two legs of the trip?

Step 1

Given: Speed of airplane relative to air = 850 km/h Speed of wind = 83 km/h Speed of airplane against the wind = 850 - 83 = 767 km/h Show more…
