a drone begins flying towards a target located 200 m away from a point of constant altitude. The speed of the drone is 5 m / s and is always towards the target throughout the movement. The wind at a speed of 3 m / s blows perpendicular to the starting point and the target direction. Assuming that the drone is drifting with this wind speed, find the graph of the motion path of the drone.

Question

Drone-wind problem (literature research on drone motion being affected by wind, taking into account the change in wind speed,…) 

a drone begins flying towards a target located 200 m away from a point of constant altitude. The speed of the drone is 5 m / s and is always towards the target throughout the movement. The wind at a speed of 3 m / s blows perpendicular to the starting point and the target direction. Assuming that the drone is drifting with this wind speed, find the graph of the motion path of the drone.
