A fighter aircraft is trying to land on an aircraft carrier. If the plane is flying at 95 m/s relative to the?

Have you EVER seen a picture or film of a carrier approach from the front?

Yes it matters. If the aircraft approached from the front then the approach speed would be 100 m/s while from the back it would be 90 m/s relative to the carrier.

The person who asked the question completely ignores wind speed which could be a bigger factor. Generally when launching or retrieving aircraft the carrier is pointed into the wind to reduce the aircraft's speed relative to the carrier as much as possible.

it depends IF the water itself is moving (i.e., current) because aircraft when reporting the GROUNDspeed they don't count with moving surface.. they cannot even report/measure speed relative to current. vessels on the other hand, can and DO report current speed and direction and can be moving relative to the current.

it depends if there's WIND aloft (if flying with tail wind, the aircraft at given ground[water] speed can be below its minimum speed, or may overrun the carrier deck.

[i dont think the carrier can do 10 knots backwards]

put simply.. there's but ONE end of the carrier that goes aft, and so the two are either moving in same direction (the ship and the plane) which is favourable [both of them heading INTO the wind would be preferable], or are moving against each other (in which case, they are approaching and that's not desired)

there's more into this vector count than your teacher thought there is...

Sure, they are no extraordinary from land centered planes. The purpose they use tail hooks and catapults on carriers is in view that of a scarcity of runway for the aircraft to speed up/sluggish down on, which it might have at a correct airbase, no longer in view that there may be whatever inherently unique about the plane.

Yes, an aircraft can only land in one direction on an aircraft carrier, from the back.

The only place aircraft speed is measured in m/s is physics class...Which is probably why this question makes no sense.

yes, and for the record carrier aircraft have generally always landed approaching from the back

It doesn't matter to me, but I am sure that the pilot, the Captain of the Carrier and the Government who owns the airplane would all consider that it mattered quite a bit.

Do your own physics homework!

Yes, it matters. Duh.
