Answer:

B. 10m/s

Explanation:

If a drone flies 8 m/s due East with respects to the wind and the wind is blowing 6 m/s due North, the speed of the drone with respect to the ground is its displacement.

Displacement is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

d² = 8²+6²

d² = 64+36

d² = 100

Square root both sides

√d² = √100

d = 10m/s

Hence the distance of the drone with respect to the ground is 10m/s

Option B is correct
