APPLICATIONS (continued) 50 km/h When fighter jets take off or land on

APPLICATIONS (continued) 50 km/h When fighter jets take off or land on an aircraft carrier, the velocity of the carrier becomes an issue. If the aircraft carrier travels at a forward velocity of 50 km/hr and plane A takes off at a horizontal air speed of 200 km/hr (measured by someone on the water), how do we find the velocity of the plane relative to the carrier? How would you find the same thing for airplane B? How does the wind impact this sort of situation?
