Question: Dr . Beck is walking to class at 1 m / s ( absolute velocity ) into a headwind that is blowing at 2 m

Dr. Beck is walking to class at 1 m/s (absolute velocity) into a headwind that is blowing at 2 m/s. This headwind applies a 25 N drag force on Dr. Beck.
As Dr. Beck continues to walk by the library at 1 m/s, the building blocks the headwind (new headwind =0 m/s).
What is the drag force due to air resistance on Dr. Beck as he walks by the library with no wind?
Group of answer choices
25 N
2.8 N
