What is the speed over the ground of an airplane flying at 100 km/h relative to the air caught in a 100-km/h right-angle crosswind?
What will be the speed of an airplane that normally flies at 200 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ when it encounters a $80-\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ wind from the side (at a right angle to the airplane).
