Can You Solve This Relative Velocity Physics Problem?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a physics problem involving an airplane flying in a triangular course while affected by wind. The problem states that the airplane will take a specific time to complete the course, calculated using the formula a*sqrt(3)(sqrt(3) + 1)/2u hours, where "a" is the side length of the triangle and "u" is the wind velocity. Participants suggest that solving the problem without considering the wind simplifies the calculations, emphasizing the importance of vector components. The conversation highlights the need to visualize the triangle and the velocities involved for better understanding. Overall, the problem illustrates the complexities of relative velocity in physics.

could you solve this physics problem
an aeroplane is flying in a triangular course of order. the length of each side of the triangle is " a " km and the wind is blowing along its one side with velocity u km/hr . prove that the areoplane will take a*sq.rt of 3(sq.rt of 3 +1)/2u hour to complete the full course of order. the modulus of velocity of the aeroplane relative to wind is root 3 times the modulus of the
velocity of the wind

Can you solve this problem without the wind?

If so, then just keep in mind that the aeroplane's velocity is reduced, or enlargened, by the wind depending on direction. Just draw the triangle, and the direction the aeroplane should be travelling. Draw the aeroplane's velocity, and the wind's velocity, and add them together, breaking up the vectors into x and y components
 
Hint: it's easier without a calculator. Really. Waht triangle features "root 3"?
 
thank u guyz but i have already tried that out
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
