best_answer

Vairplane=500 km h-1

Vprod/airplane=-1500 km h-1 (the negative sign signifies the Velocity of the plane and the velocity of the ejected combustion products relative to the plane  are in opposite directions)

Vprod/airplane=Vprod - Vairplane

Vprod =Vprod/airplane +Vairplane

Vprod=-1500+500=-1000 km h-1 

The speed of the ejected combustion products with respect to an observer on the ground is 1000 km h-1
