A downstream current and an across-stream wind current at 5km/h give a sailboat an effective speed of 13km/h. What is the speed of the downstream current and the angle between the wind current and the path of the sailboat?
Draw a triangle with 5 and d as legs and 13 as hypotenuse. Let d = downstream current = ||d|| = square root of 13^2-5^2 = 12 Let theta equal the angle headed Cos theta = 5/13 Theta = 67.4 degrees
A plane's heading is 160 degrees and it's air speed is 350mph. If the west wind is blowing at 20mph, what are the plane's ground speed and true course.
Draw graph Use law of cosines to find ground speed. ||v||^2 = 350^2 + 20^2 - 2(350)(20)cos110 v = 357 Use law of sines to find the true course angle. sin alpha/20 = sin 110/357 Alpha = 3 degrees. True course: 160 degrees - 3 degrees = 157 degrees Make conclusion: the ground speed is 357mph and true course is 157 degrees
Example of work
Force 15N at 24 degrees up a vertical cable a distance of 25m. Draw a triangle with 25m vertical, force as hypotenuse and angle 24 between base and hypotenuse. Since the force has to be in the direction of the vertical cable, theta is equal to 90-24 to get the complementary angle of 66 degrees.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine whether this triangle ABC is a right triangle or not
Given: A(10,5,1) B(-2,2,5) C(-2,5,1) First find the distances : AB,BC,AC Then determine which is the hypotenuse(biggest) Then use Pythagorean theorem BC^2 + AC^2 = AB^2 Show the distance calculations and combine BC and AC by adding after to get (144,9,16)=(144,9,16) or use calculator to find exact value and show that it is a right triangle *** could also not be a right triangle
Theorem 7
If u and v are nonzero orthogonal vectors in the plane and t is any vector in the plane, then t = (u•t/||u||^2)u + (v•t/||v||^2)v = (u•t/u•u)u + (v•t/v•v)v
Theorem 6

If it says the wind is blowing from 40 degrees...
If u draw the graph 40 degrees would be to the right so if the wind is blowing from there then the arrow is to the left of the initial air speed
Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality

When it says from 40 degrees then
In the graph there will be a 40 degrees from where the arrow is
