... be considered. In the arctic there are many mountains and obstacles a plane would have to take into account during flight. To take into account these factors in my calculations would be impractical therefore, I must establish variables that could be controlled and make some assumptions in order to make it practical. These are the variables that I must establish; * Strength of the westerly wind. * Speed that the researcher's plane would be travelling at. I will investigate into how both of these affect the overall flight time by varying the velocities for both the plane and the wind. These are the assumptions that I must establish; * I will be treating the people in the plane and the plane itself as particles. This will mean that they have no weight at all and therefore, this will not affect the flight of the plane. On the other hand, if it was considered the ...
