AI Thread Summary
In the air race from Metropolis to Aniba Gothic and back, the aircraft travels a distance D to the east. The speed of the aircraft is constant at v, and the impact of wind speed w is considered for both eastward and southward directions. For wind blowing to the east, the time required is calculated as 2D/(v^2 - w^2), while for wind blowing south, the time is 2D/√(v^2 - w^2). There is some confusion regarding the correct formulation of these equations, particularly for the eastward wind scenario. The discussion highlights the need for clarity in the calculations related to the influence of wind on flight time.

3.82 in an air race, an aircraft flies from a point directly above Metropolis to a point directly city aniba Gothic, turn and return at starting point. The speed of the aircraft with respect to the air is constant in all the flight and equal to v. city is Gothic a distance D to the East of Metropolis. (Cuanto tiempo se requiere si sepla un viento con rapidez constante w b) to the East? (c) towards the South?

Answer b) \frac{2Dv}{v^2-w^2} I have no idea of this answer It should be 2d/v-w

c) \frac{2d}{\sqrt{v^2-w^2}}}

in an air race, an aircraft flies from a point directly above Metropolis to a point directly on the top of Gothic city, turn and return at starting point. The speed of the aircraft with respect to the air is constant in all the flight and equal to v. city is Gothic a distance D to the East of Metropolis. (How much time is required if a wind blows at constant speed w b) to the East? (c) towards the South?

c) \frac{2d}{\sqrt{v^2-w^2}}}
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'
I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
