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.

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...
