Hi guys,
I'm an arts undergrad student with very little knowledge of the sort of physics I'm about to ask.
I was wondering if there is a calculation to work out the differentiation between running at a particular speed say 10mph against wind coming towards you at 15mph. As well as it being on flat & say the person being about 60kg and about 1.7 metres tall (average person).
Obviously if there was no wind against you, you would runner faster, and even faster with wind behind you.
Whats the calculation (in layman's terms) to work out the difference?
I've linked some articles below which I've read and tried to understand, I know its something to do with velocity, drag and inertia.
Thanks for taking your time!
