Sir Joey who works in Oman terribly misses his country, Philippines which is approximately 7,004 km vector due west. Due to homesickness, he booked a flight on his way home with a top speed of 650 km/hr. During his flight, the plane experienced a 75 km/hr wind blowing in the direction of 60 degrees south of east. What would be the net velocity of his flight? What would be the shortest amount of Sir Joey’s flight time?
