A plane is flying to a city 756 km directly north of its initial location. The plane maintains a speed of 203 km/h relative to the air during its flight. (a) If the plane flies through a constant headwind blowing south at 53.5 km/h, how much time (in h) will it take to reach the city

The answer is 5.05 hours.

Explanation:

If the plane has an airspeed of 203 km/h which only applies for air and not the ground speed, we can subtract the speed of the wind since it is a headwind in the directly opposite direction.

So the speed of the plane becomes 203 - 53.5 = 149.5 km/h which will give us the true airspeed of the plane and the ground speed as well.

From here we can calculate the time it will take to reach the city as

756 km / 149.5 km/h = 5.05 hours.

I hope this answer helps.
