Q2. A plane has an airspeed of 915 km/h. The pilot sets the heading at [S34°E]. There is an 84 km/h wind headed [W12°N]. [A7, C4] a) Draw and label the vector diagram for the wind and plane's velocities. b) Calculate the velocity of the plane as seen by an observer on the ground.
Projectile motion A projectile is launched from the origin, which is a point 50 ft from a 30-ft vertical cliff (see figure). It is launched at a speed of 50√2 ft/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal.

Suppose that a bus is traveling at 50 mi/h cast along Main Street- and that you're on the bus running to the front of the bus at 10 mi/h. What is your velocity relative to Main Street? That's easy...60 mi/h east. Vectors are not necessary to solve this problem. However, if you can understand how vectors work in simple situations as shown below, then you can understand how they work in more complex situations. = 50 mi /h east v,-10 mi/h east Vector Representation R=+v = 60 mi /h east Arrows are used to depict each vector. R represents the resultant of adding the vectors in question. R is also a vector. Q2 How is the magnitude of each vector depicted graphically? Q3 How is the direction of each vector indicated?
