Explain why airplane pilots should know wind velocity and not just wind speed during a flight

It makes a big difference if the wind is blowing 30 miles per hour
from the North, from the South, from the East, from the West, or
from the Southeast, etc.

In order to fly the plane in the direction that he actually wants to go, the
pilot needs to handle every possible wind direction in a different way.

If he only knows that the air he's in is moving over the ground at 30 miles
per hour, he would have no way to make the required correction, and the
airplane would get blown way off-course.

Air speed is how fast you are peddling over the ground, wind speed is how fast the wind is blowing above the ground.Depending on the correlation between the two with direction thrown the pilot knows what sort of resistance he is flying against.

A displacement vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north. What are the components of this vector? Northward
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A)  29.4 m 17.0 m; B) 2 m

Explanation:

If a vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north (which means 30.0° over the horizontal), then its coordinates will be:

Horizontal: (34.0 m)cos(30.0°)=29.4 m

Vertical: (34.0 m)sin(30.0°)=17 m

If one person walks 8.0 meters in a straight line and then walks 5.0 meters in another straight line, then the minimum displacement would be to go back over his tracks, displacing himself 8m-5m=3m, while the maximum displacement would be going straight ahead, displacing himself 8m+5m=13m. Any answer outside this interval is impossible (2m).
