Define an x-y coordinate system such that
The positive x-axis = the eastern direction, with unit vector  \hat{i}.
The positive y-axis = the northern direction, with unit vector \hat{j}.

The airplane flies at 340 km/h at 12° east of north. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{1} = 340(sin(15^{o})\hat{i} + cos(15^{o})\hat{j} ) = 88\hat{i} + 328.4\hat{j}

The wind blows at 40 km/h in the direction 34° south of east. Its velocity vector is
\vec{v}_{2} =40(cos(34^{o})\hat{i} - sin(24^{o})]\hat{j}) = 33.1615\hat{i} -22.3677\hat{j})

The plane's actual velocity is the vector sum of the two velocities. It is
\vec{v}=\vec{v}_{1}+\vec{v}_{2} = 121.1615\hat{i}+306.0473\hat{j}

The magnitude of the actual velocity is
v = √(121.1615² + 306.0473²) = 329.158 km/h

The angle that the velocity makes north of east is
tan⁻¹ (306.04733/121.1615) = 21.6°

Answer:
The actual velocity is 329.2 km/h at 21.6° north of east.

The diagram below shows a subduction zone where oceanic crust is sinking into the mantle underneath continental crust as two
Scrat [10]

Metal ores

Explanation:

in an area where subduction has occurred in times past, metal ores are likely to be found.

Metallic ores find subduction zone regions very favorable to crystallize out of a magma.

  • Ores have different modes of formation.
  • Typically, they are found in hydrothermal vents and black smokers of igneous intrusives.
  • These are igneous terrains where metallic sulfides and other minerals crystallize out of magmatic body.
  • Metals in magma usually have large sizes and do not partition easily in the melt.

At a subduction zone, partial melting of the subducting plate forces magma into nearby country rock as an intrusive and to the ocean floor where they form black smokers.

An object that is 3 times higher than another object of the same mass will
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: I feel that 3 is the answer

Explanation: Let there be 2 objects, A and B

A is at height of 5m whereas B is at height of 15m

so over here let the gravitational potential energy of A be x

and since B is 3 times higher than A B=3x

Since, earth is considered to be the point where gravitational potenial is 0

So hence forth and object 3 times up will have 3 times the gravitational potential energy of A

Why are springs made of steel and not of copper.​
torisob [31]

Answer:

Springs are made of a variety of materials including copper and various forms of steel. The most common is high carbon steel as it is cheap, easy to work and a couple of other important properties.

Copper springs exist as well, but copper is more expensive than steel. However, in an environment where corrosion resistance is important, copper springs are a good alternative.
