Easy Resultant Velocity Problem

[paularamz]

I need help in this problem!

It goes: For the winter, a duck flies 10.0m/s south against a gust of wind with a speed of 2.5m/s. What is the resultant velocity of the duck?

Anyone please help!

Please show an attempt at a solution. You might want to look at a case where the duck is flying at 10m/s south, and the wind is blowing at 10 m/s north. What is the duck's velocity with respect to the ground for this case?? In your case?

If he moves 10m/s and is slowed by 2.5m/s than how fast is the duck moving? Its the difference between the values. If confused draw vectors. That is it unless angles are involved.
