    messed up. I got 2.40 m/s for the horizontal velocity, and also got 2.40 m/s for the vertical velocity. then I took A^2 + B^2 = C^2 to get resultant velocity. can't remember what i wrote on my paper, 3.39 m/s maybe? from there I did sin-1(2.40/resultant) and got 45 degrees all from memory

    The resultant velocity of the plane relative to the object is calculated to be 508ms-1 at 79.8 degrees to the ground. To maintain a resultant velocity of 500ms-1 in the eastward direction, the person steering the plane would need to adjust the direction to 33.53 degrees to the north at a speed of 491.83 km h-1.

    3. How do you calculate resultant velocity when there are multiple forces acting on an object? To calculate resultant velocity when multiple forces are acting on an object, you need to first find the individual velocities caused by each force. Then, use vector addition to find the resultant velocity by adding the individual velocities together ...

    Resultant Velocity. In summary, the question asks for the resultant velocity of two 100 km/h velocities at right angles to each other. The formula for calculating resultant velocity in this scenario involves multiplying one of the velocities by the square root of 2. The resulting velocity is 141.4 km/h. Sep 24, 2006.

    To calculate resultant velocity, you need to add together all the individual velocities using vector addition. This involves breaking down each velocity into its horizontal and vertical components, adding them separately, and then using the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant velocity magnitude. The direction of the resultant velocity can ...

    The Attempt at a Solution. I know that the resultant velocity is the hypotenuse, which means that 4^2+3^2=v^2, where v=5 mi/h. And that's only part of the answer. The whole answer in the textbook says 5 mi/h at an angle of ≈53.13° to the bank.

    In summary, the problem involves finding the resultant velocity of a plane that is heading 20° north of east at 200 m/s while being affected by a wind blowing 60° north of east at 50 m/s. To find the resultant velocity, we first need to find the x and y components of both the plane and the wind using sinΘ and cosΘ, then add them vectorally.
