The speed relative to the ground is the same in both cases. However the speed to a stationary observer outside of the earth would vary over the course of the flight. To him the speed would include both the 300km hr north to south movement and a west to east component due to the rotation of the earth. At the poles this would be o km/hr and at the equator about 1000 hm/hr. To this external observer the average speeds could be quite different

One airplane travels due to north 300kmh while the another travels due to south at 300kmh. Are their velocities the same?

no it is not, velocity includes speed and direction and while the speeds are the same the direction is not


Electric waves and magnetic waves move in directions that are?

Electric and Magnetic currents travel from Positive to Negative. a batteries charge travels from the + end to the - end. and a Magnet travels from North to South.


What is the velocity of a car that travels 260 miles in 4 hours driving to the northeast?

Divide the distance by the time to get the speed. The direction, of course, is north-east.


Is the momentum of the car travelling north different from the one of the same car when it travels south at the same speed?

Momentum is a vector. This means it has magnitude and direction. The magnitude will be the same. But the sign will be different. If north is positive, south will be negative. This is the only difference.


Can a displacement from one point to another be zero yet the distance involves in moving these point be zero?

Yes it is possible. Any body that travels in any particular closed shape (circle, square, triangle etc.) and returns to the point in which it started would have travelled a certain distance but the sum of its displacement would be nil. Example: A body travels in a 1 mile north, then 1 mile west, then one mile south and finally 1 mile east (ie. a square). The body has travelled a distance of 4 miles. The bodys displacement is 0 miles due to it returning to the point in which it started. You can calculate displacement using vectors. For this example assuming east is positive x and north is positive y: north + west + south + east y -x -y +x = 0

Where do North Dakota's railroads go?

There are several main rail lines in North Dakota along with many spur lines. One main rail line travels from Montana to Minnesota, going through the North Dakota towns of Dickinson, Bismarck, and Fargo. Another main rail line travels from Montana to Minnesota, going through the North Dakota towns of Williston, Minot, Devils Lake, and Grand Forks. Another main line travels from Montana to Minnesota, going through the North Dakota towns of Williston, Minot, and Fargo. This is also the rail line used by the passenger trains. Another main line travels from Fargo to Grand Forks. The Canadian Pacific line goes from the northwest to the southeast corner of North Dakota, traveling through the town of Minot.
