    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. These two quantities are not the same because ...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. 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.

Scalar multiplication has no effect on the direction unless the scalar is negative, in which case the direction of the resulting vector is opposite the direction of the original vector.

It explains position vectors, scalar multiplication, vector addition, and the concepts of displacement and resultant vectors. The section also addresses vector components, their magnitudes, and applications in velocity and other contexts. Detailed examples and exercises help illustrate these concepts, providing a comprehensive understanding of vectors in geometric terms.
