Solve a word problem using vectors, airplane and wind

Показать описание

I make short, to-the-point online math tutorials. I struggled with math growing up and have been able to use those experiences to help students improve in math through practical applications and tips.

If I helped you in this video, I would love to have you subscribe.

I believe everyone can learn math and it doesn't have to be a struggle. There are three things everyone learning math needs. A belief you can learn math, deliberate practice and a coach for guidance. For more helpful tips and tricks visit my website

If you are looking to take your learning to the next level by then I have created multiple courses on Udemy for you as well. In addition to video tutorials I organize the content so you do not have to wonder which video to watch first. Included in the courses are practice sheets and quizzes for you to master your skills.

I wish that there's more teachers in the world like you to help students like us.

Thank you. I was really struggling with this concept but you explained it very well !

When pilots are given wind direction and speed the direction is where the winds coming from, so if wind is given as N45degE at 50 mph the wind is blowing from N45degE so it should be shown in the opposite direction in the example. Yes??

I understand the concept you are trying to explain, but what are we referencing speed and direction to? If we are using the ground as a reference, then the answer is his direction is 17 deg, and speed is 340 mph. If we are using air speed and his aircraft’s compass as a reference, then it is a different calculation than the one presented.

Thank you, I do enjoy your bearing discussions.

As a math teacher I gotta say its nice to see others making the same little mistakes as me; its almost as if teaching and doing math use different brain processes

MathGPT

Personally. I find using the Sin rule by itself and then cosine rule by itself is quicker.

I really should’ve taken pre calculus before physics with algebra one. This make more sense. It’s a good thing I’m taking pre calculus next semester. Got plenty of resources for the class :)

OK WAIT THIS IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM I NEEDED HELP WITH

avazquez

why are you adding a and c and not and a and b isnt a and b together?

aryangandhi

Great video, thank you very much. My only problem is the use of the storing answers to from the calculator.

terencewright

how did he use the tangent if it isnt 90 degree

Mr

hi, if you add the wind vector's tip(?) to the plane vector do you get the same result?

jess

How did you get 50 degree on resultant vector?

sinafarokh

When you add the wind to the airplane, shouldn't it be 20 degrees and 70 degrees, not 50 degrees and 20 degrees at 3:18

Please use HEADING instead of BEARING, as per the vectors drawn by U. As per your question 340 is the TAS [ almost equal to IAS
( as indicated by ASI), at low speeds and low altitudes], and one has been asked to find GS.

TAS is along HEADING whereas GS is along TC ( true course) represented by BEARING.
Anyways your presentation is quite helpful for students... 👍 from India.
