The wind is blowing opposite to leg AB. Given the fact that you’re traveling in a wind-powered boat, which leg of the course will take you the longest? Why? (4 points)

Answer:
The leg of the course that will take longest is from A to B
The reason is that the leg of the course, A to B is slowed by the wind
Step-by-step explanation:
The direction of the wind is opposite to leg AB
The starting and finishing point is point A, and the course is from A to B to C and back to point A
The leg of the course that will take the longest is course in which th motion is against the wind which is from B to A
The motion from B to C and from C to A are partly in the wind ward direction, because the wind would be behind the sales and will therefore be aided by the wind, leading to rapid motion
However, the starting motion on the leg from A to B is opposite the wind and will be slowed down by the wind, and would therefore, take the longest.
