A plane can travel with a speed of 80 mi-hr with respect to the air determine the resultant velocity of the plane magnitude only if it encounters a 10 mi-hr headwind?
sol:- resultant velocity of a plane=80-10 =70m/s
If vx 3 meterssecond and vy 4 meterssecond what is the magnitude of the resultant velocity?
You can calculate that with the Pythagorean theorem.
What is vector and resultant velocity?
A vector is used to represent direction and magnitude of speed. Velocity is the speed of an object and a specification of its direction of motion. Speed describes only how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity gives both how fast and in what direction the object is moving. Therefore a vector can be used to represent a velocity. The term "resultant velocity" implies a change in velocity which can be determined using vector analysis.
What is the magnitude of velocity?
what is magnitude of average velocity
How do you find resultant velocity?
When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.
Can particle with constant velocity be accelerating?
No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.No. Velocity implies both a magnitude and a direction.
What is resultant velocity?
The sum of all the velocity vectors.
What is the resultant velocity?
The sum of all the velocity vectors.
What is the difference between the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity of an object?
The velocity of an object has two attributes, 1. its magnitude and 2. its direction. The difference betwen the velocity and the magnitude of the velocity is the direction!
If a boat can travel 3 miles per hour in still water it is in a river that flows south 4 miles if the boat heads eastward directly across the river what are the velocity directionand magnitude of the?
The magnitude of the velocity is sqrt(32 + 42) = sqrt(9 + 16) = sqrt(25) = 5 mph. The heading of the boat is 143.1301 degrees ie 53.1301 degrees South of East. NB: 53.1301 = arctan(4/3)
Why the magnitude of drift velocity is so small?
magnitude of drift velocity is?
What is a resultant velosity?
A resultant velocity is the vector sum of two or more velocities (remember that a velocity has both speed and direction).
