Comparing Velocity and Distance

The Airspeed Velocity and Displacement of an Unladen European Swallow Flying in Wind
On the left is the velocity vector diagram for an unladen European Swallow (v1) flying in a wind (v2) and the resulting ground speed.[br][br]On the right is the displacement vector diagram for the swallow.[br][br]Adjust the vectors sliders and see how the displacement and velocity vectors are related
