Why do we have a longer takeoff roll with a tail wind?

?

The speed that is required for takeoff is a function of the speed of air over the wings required to generate lift. For example if 100 knots is our rotation speed and we have a 10 knot tailwind, the aircraft must accelerate to 130 knots to get the required lift.
