wat's da answer 4 this physics question?
an airplane is traveling west at a speed of 200 km/h. A westerly wind (meaning coming from the west) blows at 20 km/h. How fast is the plane flying now?
i tink u use V=Vo+(a)(t) or V=x/t
the plane is in the air.

Are you asking what is the ground speed of the airplane while the airplane indicated airspeed is 200 km/h with a 20 km/h headwind? The ground speed is the relationship between the airplane and the ground, not the air. If that is what you are asking, then the answer is 180 km/h.

Wind speed is used to convert between ground speed and true airspeed. If it's ground speed is 200, the airspeed is.
airspeed = ground speed + wind speed = 220 kph
There is no acceleration involved.

How about a simple... V(plane) - V (headwind) = V(forward)?
