The takeoff speed of a military aircraft from an aircraft carrier is approximate

Question

The takeoff speed of a military aircraft from an aircraft carrier is approximately 170 mi/hr relative to the air. They acquire this speed through a combination of a catapult system present on the aircraft carrier and the aircraft's jet propulsion system. A common strategy is to head the carrier and the plane into the wind. If a plane is taking off from an aircraft carrier which is moving at 40 mi/hr into a 20 mi/hr headwind, then what speed relative to the deck of the aircraft carrier must it obtain to takeoff? [x2]

Explanation / Answer

the take off speed of aircraft will be ptovided by combi ning velocity of air craft carrier, haedwidnd and speed of carrier with respect to deck

let the speedcof carrier with respect to deck = V

170 = 40 + 20 + V

V = 170 - 60

V =110 miles /hr
