A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into thewind. (a) If it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relativeto the Earth, what is the velocity of the wind? (b) If the birdturns around and flies with the wind, how long will he take toreturn 6.00 km? (c) Discuss how the wind affects the totalround-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
