Vectors, Headwinds, Tailwinds

What is the difference between headwinds and tailwinds?

• Headwinds are winds blowing in the same direction as travel, while tailwinds are winds blowing directly against the direction of travel.

• Headwinds and tailwinds are the same thing.

• Headwinds are stronger than tailwinds.

• Headwinds are winds blowing directly against the direction of travel, while tailwinds are winds blowing in the same direction as travel.

How do headwinds affect an object in motion?

• Headwinds have no effect on an object in motion.

• Headwinds change the direction of the object in motion.

• Headwinds increase the speed of the object in motion.

• Headwinds create resistance against the object's motion, slowing it down.

How do tailwinds affect an object in motion?

• Tailwinds slow down the object and decrease its speed.

• Tailwinds cause the object to move in the opposite direction.

• Tailwinds have no effect on the object in motion.
