An airplane whose air speed is 620 km/h is supposed to fly in a straight path 35.0 degree north of east. But a steady 95 km/h wind is blowing from the north. In what direction should the plane head?
So if I draw two vectors:

vector 1

y= 620 sin 35 = 507.9
x= 620 cos 35 = 355.6

X Y
355.6 507.9
0 -95

355.6 412.9

Determine theta by using tan-1? Am I any closer to understanding it? I get 49 degrees and that isn’t correct.??
The answer is 42.2 North of East but i dont know how to get that

You’ve assumed that the plane will be traveling at a speed of 620 Km/h
in the direction 35NE.. This can’t be right because of the wind.

that speed is one of the unknowns.

however the airspeed in the unknown direction "theta" will be 620 Km/H.

airplane airspeed
y1 = 620 cos(theta)
x1 = 620 sin(theta)

Note that I used cosine for Y1
since due north —> i.e. 0 deg ===> Y1 = 620 cos(0) = 620.

wind
x2 = 0
y2 = -95. blowing toward the south.

resultant Vt = v1+v2 must be at 35NE

Xt = 620 sin(theta)
Yt = 620 cos(theta) – 95

tan35 = opposite/adjacent = Xt/Yt
Note that I used Xt/Yt since tan(0) is due north when Xt = 0.

Xt = Yt. tan35

Solve for theta.
620 sin(theta) = (620 cos(theta) – 95) . tan35

Comments Welcome
Any Cards I should add to make my Deck more dark/wind deck?

the decks prety good but i would get the shonen jump obelisk 1. got an effect and 2 its pretty kool i would rate it about 7/10 not that good for tourney but good luck

I like your Wind deck, but one problem. Harpy Lady 1, 2, or 3 are all considered Harpy Lady’s, no matter what. You can only have 3 cards of the same name per deck+side deck. Remember, the next-gen harpies are still all considered "Harpy Lady"s, you currently have 8……=/

It’s kind of like in Water Decks, "A Legendary Ocean" field cards are treated as Umi, so you can’t have 3 umi’s and 3 legendary oceans thinking they’re both different.

Other than that, pretty decent Wind deck. Perhaps taking out the FIVE excessive harpy ladies and putting in:
2 more Birdfaces
2 Barrier Statue of Stormwind (as long as this monster is on the field, only WIND monsters can be special summoned; find them in CyberDark Impact boosterpacks)
1 Simorgh

gl hf! ^^

i always thought storm was the best

she can just make a hurricane and she can fly too. wolverine wouldn’t be able to touch her. she’s just soar in the air hurling cars with winds at him. or whatever else she wanted to do. he’d be able to do nothing. none of them could. she’d win one on one with any x men if she executed the right plot. her flying ability’s plus weather control plus whatever else she has are too much to take. all you phonies pretending like wolverine can win in a fight are crazy. and gambit or cyclops or rogue or anyone else. maybe rogue on a bad day. because if i were storm i might wanna get some. but this is me not storm. we both have different opinons about what’s worth losing the fight. so anyways here ya. judge this question. but do not. i repeat.

Rogue was always my favorite.

She can have any power she wants just by touching people.
Now, she can recall powers. She doesn’t even need to touch anyone, she can just call upon their power, though it’s unstable and doesn’t always work correctly.
Plus she had a death touch for a while.
One tiny touch of bare skin and she could kill anyone.

I do agree that Storm’s powers are more impressive than Wolverine, the main thing about Wolverine is his healing ability.
He’s not the only one with healing or adamantium for that matter.

A hot air balloon is rising at a rate of 3.4 m/s^2and a horizontal wind is moving it at a rate of 2.5 m/s^2. If the balloon is moving at 17 m/s @ 32o above the positive x axis, what is the final velocity after 45 seconds?

I assume that the balloon’s initial velocity is the 17 m/s @ 32° above the horizontal. You need to take that and break it down into horizontal and vertical components. It might help to draw a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 17 and one angle of 32°. Label the horizontal leg "x" and the vertical leg "y."

The vertical component can expressed as follows:

sin 32° = y/17, and y = 9.01, so your initial vertical velocity is 9.01 m/s² upward.

The horizontal component can be expressed as

cos 32° = x/17, and x = 14.42, so your initial horizontal velocity is 14.42 m/s² horizontally.

Now for your velocity equation:

v = v(0) + at, where v(0) is your initial velocity a is your acceleration, and t is your time.

You need to do this equation for the horizontal and vertical components. When you’re done, draw another right triangle with one leg as your vertical velocity and one as your horizontal. Using the equation a² + b² = c², plug in your horizontal and veritcal velocities for a and b. Don’t forget to take the square root of the sum for your resultant vector’s magnitude.

To find the angle, do the following

tan θ = (vertical velocity / horizontal velocity), change to

θ = tanˉ¹(vertical velocity / horizontal velocity),

and take the inverse tangent of the vertical velocity divided by the horizontal velocity.

That will give you the angle. Good luck. I hope this was helpful.

what do you think? i will not be able to look at my answers until tonight as i am staying at my mums for dinner and sky tv (thank god for the simpsons) :-)

the first thing that comes to mind is your barrier statue of the stormwinds. It is good in the right situation but is usually not helpful. A good card to add is Destruction Cyclone from Strike of Neos. Although it is a 2 tribute monster, if it is destroyed by battle all non-wind and face down monsters are destroyed. Since you run a wind deck, just make sure to not place your cards face down when he is on the field.

Jane, oh Jane it pains me to see
Of the pale love that he doth give to thee.
His love as the serpent who stalks in the grass.
His deception can fool you my love, through me it cannot pass.

Dear Jane, he cannot appreciate your weary eyes.
Nor can he see behind the sapphire that is so wise.
My darling Jane, the gem is impaired.
He speaks with a forked tongue, you hath a beauty so rare.

My sweet Jane, such roses I see in your cheeks.
Yet he looks with such arrogance, deceives when he speaks.
As to paint those roses there with his hand.
He claims they grew there, lovely Jane, he does not understand.

Beautiful Jane, your hair waves with the ocean‘s hands.
Your locks mimic the golden sun above, he sees only sand.
My darling, I spy a world in his grain of sand.
You hath no simplicity, but he does not understand.

Fair maiden thy smile hath more strength than thy voice‘s sweet melody.
In thy smile I vision heavens mighty glow, in his evil I see thy enemy.
My love, you are blind to see this knave’s shallowness of sight.
For he sees shallows as depths, water as a mirror, he bends from false height.

His is the cosmic fool, and he doth fool you with his revelry.
He wishes to fall into the water and hold his own face, just as he seeks to fool you with his devilry.
I think of thee on every Eve, of every dawn.
And although it may seem vainglory to strive as the wind cuts the air, it is with god speed I race to warn.

For thy love is blind, and drawn in to temptation by his stories.
His love is but a mask, painted to mimic thy perfect face of love and glory.
I fear for thy heart’s innocence, I care not for his; carved from granite.
And my sweet Jane I love thee, with the letters from every love song, how I long to have sang it.

(with references to greek mythology of Narcissus – the man who fell in love with his reflection and tried to grab it out of the water but fell into the water and drowned in the depths… also references to the story of Adam and Eve)
ahh, sorry forgot to mention this was a little challenge i created for myself. i usually write in modern language and in wondered if i could write like they used to write. && if you cant appreciate that part of poetry then you dont understand much at all.

Its excellent! i like it, i love your use of old language it makes me think of William Blake who is one of my favourites, thanks for posting it.
