I'll ask you the same question that the other Myth-ers couldn't handle. (either refused to answer or answered incorrectly)
2 identical airplanes with a cruise airspeed of 100 knots. Both are flying east. Airplane A is in still air. Airplane B is flying into a 50 knot wind blowing out of the east. Both turn 180 degrees and fly west. What is the change in velocity from before the turn to after the turn for each plane?
A plausible question which is irrelevant. You are comparing two states of equilibrium. You are not thinking about what happens during the turn
