Grade 12 Kinematics Vector Problem....

AI Thread Summary
The problem involves an airplane traveling at 885 km/h towards the west-southwest and facing a headwind of 150 km/h from the east-northeast. Participants note that critical information such as time, distance, acceleration, or final velocity is missing, making it impossible to calculate displacement accurately. There is a consensus that the question likely intended to include a time component. Additionally, one participant critiques the relevance of the equation provided for solving the problem. Clarifying these missing details is essential for finding the effective velocity and determining the displacement.

Homework Statement


An airplane travels at 885 km/h [W35S]. Wind blows against the plane with a velocity of 150 km/h [E55N]. What's the displacement with direction?

Homework Equations


v=v1^2+v2^2sqrt

We need more information. There is no time, distance, acceleration, or final velocity. At the moment, the displacement is theoretically infinite. Were you given any more information?
 
That's all I was given.

Seems like the question was supposed to specify a time, but it was left out. Just find the effective velocity.
By the way, your "relevant equation" makes no sense.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
