Q
Q: A man can run at a speed of 5 m/s in still air. If he runs in a direction opposite to the wind blowing at 2 m/s, what is his effective speed?
Solution:
Effective speed = speed of man - speed of wind = 5 - 2 = 3 m/s.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the speed of the man running in still air, which is 5 m/s.
Step 2: Identify the speed of the wind, which is blowing at 2 m/s.
Step 3: Since the man is running in the opposite direction to the wind, we need to subtract the speed of the wind from the speed of the man.
Step 4: Perform the calculation: 5 m/s (speed of man) - 2 m/s (speed of wind) = 3 m/s.
Step 5: The result, 3 m/s, is the effective speed of the man when running against the wind.
