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.

Ball A Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 50 m/s Ball B Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 80 m/s Ball C Mass: 0.45 kg Velocity: 25 m/s Which ball has
charle [14.2K]
Definition formula for momentum: P = mv

So P(A) = 0.45 * 50 = 22.5 kgm/s

P(B) = 0.45 * 80 = 36 kgm/s

P(C) = 0.45 * 25 = 11.25 kgm/s

B has the greatest momentum

Consider this situation: A baseball player dives head-first
siniylev [52]
Of the forces listed I think the force of him diving and sliding across the infield acted on the player.

I think so because the slowing down was a result of an action, and I don’t think that should count as An action when it is the result of an action. However, the act of diving head-first into second base and sliding across the infield are independent actions and will cause friction, which will act upon the player.
