[QUOTE="Redbelly98, post: 4513547, member: 122961"] . [SIZE="5"][B]Welcome to Physics Forums[/B][/SIZE] :smile: You are ignoring the fact that there is a wind. It does [U]not[/U] take the same amount of time to fly east and then west again over the same distance. I suggest writing what is going on in the form of equations. The equations are statements about different segments of the trip, for example: 1. An equation describing the flight time of the eastward (from Providence) segment of the flight 2. An equation describing the flight time of the [U]entire[/U] westward segment of the flight 3. An equation describing the flight time of the balloon's westward motion Writing down equations like that is a first step to figuring out what is going on. [/QUOTE]
