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
Seems like the question was supposed to specify a time, but it was left out. Just find the effective velocity.Dhyan Patel said:That's all I was given.
Kinematics is the branch of physics that studies the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.
A vector in kinematics is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is used to describe the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of an object.
To solve a grade 12 kinematics vector problem, you will need to first identify the given information, such as initial and final positions, velocities, and acceleration, and determine the unknown quantity. Then, use the appropriate kinematic equations, which involve vectors, to solve for the unknown quantity.
The key concepts in kinematics vector problems include displacement, velocity, acceleration, and the use of vector components to solve problems involving motion in multiple dimensions.
Kinematics is used in many real-life applications, such as analyzing the motion of vehicles, projectiles, and celestial bodies. It is also used in sports to analyze the performance of athletes, and in engineering to design structures and machines with optimal motion.
