Some quantities, such as or force, are defined in terms of both size (also called magnitude) and direction. A quantity that has magnitude and direction is called a vector.

    Then \(\vec{u}+\vec{v}\) is the vector which results from drawing a vector from the tail of \(\vec{u}\) to the tip of \(\vec{v}\).

Next consider \(\vec{u}-\vec{v}.\) This means \(\vec{u}+\left( -\vec{v} \right) .\) From the above geometric description of vector addition, \(-\vec{v}\) is the vector which has the same length but which points in the opposite direction to \(\vec{v}\).

    Ground speed refers to the speed of a plane relative to the ground. Airspeed refers to the speed a plane can travel relative to its surrounding air mass.

Airspeed refers to the speed a plane can travel relative to its surrounding air mass. These two quantities are not the same because of the effect of wind. In an earlier section, we used triangles to solve a similar problem involving the movement of boats. Later in this section, we will find the airplane’s ground speed and bearing, while investigating another approach to problems of this type.
