An airline route from San Francisco to Honolulu is on a bearing of 233 degrees. A jet flying at 450 mph on tha
We have two vectors to add, which we will convert to cartesian coordinates. To solve the first, consider the drawing at: http://thefilegarage.com/sharePicture.as... We have a vector of 450 mph at 233 mph, and solving for the drawing triangle, we have an interior angle of 233-180 = 53 degrees. The x component is 450*cos(53) = 270.816760418 and the y component is 450*sin(53) = 359.385979521. Since this vector is in quadrant 3, the coordinates would be (-270.82, -359.39). To solve the second, consider the drawing at: http://thefilegarage.com/sharePicture.as... Since the wind is blowing *from* 114 degrees, it is blow *toward* 114+180 = 294 degrees. To solve for the drawn triangle, we can see that the interior angle, "b" is 180-114=66 degrees. The x component is 39*cos(66) = 15.862729080 and the y component is 39*sin(66) = 35.628272848. Since this vector is in quadrant 4, the coordinates would be (15.86, -35.63). To add these to determine the resultant vector, see the drawing at: http://thefilegarage.com/sharePicture.as... x(final) = -270.82 + 15.86 = -254.96 y(final) = -359.39 + -35.63 = -395.02 Converting back to polar coordinates: magnitude = sqrt(-254.96^2 + -395.02^2) magnitude = sqrt(65004.6016 + 156040.8004) magnitude = 470.15 angle = arctan(-395.02/-254.96) angle = arctan(1.549341) angle = 237.16 degrees Therefore, the plane will end up flying at 470 mph at a heading of 237.16 degrees

My dog ate the outside part of the baseball the leather, is he going to be okay?
He should be okay provided that he chewed it up properly. It should come out of one end soon. But if he doesn't have a bowel movement by the end of the next day or he seems unwell, then maybe you should take him to the vet.
Is it safe to fly in Scoot Airlines? Someone told me that they have one engine aeroplanes.
Someone told you Scoot has one engine aeroplanes? Oh… like this one?No. That person was absolutely wrong.That person probably only saw one side of the story.That stupid person: “Oh my gosh…that Scoot plane only has one engine.”This is the other side:1 engine on the left + 1 engine on the right = 2 engines totalBefore I move on, I will advise you to stay far far away from that person who told you that Scoot has one engine airplanes. Don't ever listen to him/ her ever again, ever.Whether Scoot Airlines is safe or not is not dependent on whether they have one, two or four engine airplanes. Note that single engine airplanes can be safe as long as they are well maintained and properly handled by qualified pilots.Is Scoot safe? That’s like asking if flying is safe. Scoot can be very safe. They have qualified pilots and cabin crew. Their airplanes are maintained by the Singapore Airlines Engineering Company. Scoot’s airplanes are quite new, too.Scoot is a budget airline that cuts costs in air travel, but I am certain they do not cut corners on safety. No airline should ever compromise on safety, ever.Now I know I’ve wasted my time photoshopping that single engine Scoot plane for the purpose of answering this question…Edit: Feel free to comment if you think I didn’t prove that the Boeing 787 has two engines, and you will get a virtual hug from me.
For a long flight (over 10 hours), what does someone do that entire time? Anyone done that in coach?
It depends if you are in coach or business/first. I just flew to Hong Kong from the US in an overnight flight. I left Saturday and got in Monday early morning. The flight was just shy of 16 hours. I flew Cathay Pacific in business. The plane had economy, premium Eco and business. There was no First in this plane. Here is what I usually do:1. Always pick an overnight flight. Much easier to sleep this way. 2. Arrive exhausted. The more tired I am, the longer I can sleep. So the night before I sleep at least 3hours less than normal. 3. Eat before the flight. I find it better not to eat major meals on the plane even if the food is great. If you have a full stomach it is likely that you will not have good sleep. 4. If you drink, limit alcohol to one glass of wine or champagne. Don't ever drink beer in a plane unless you want to spend half the trip going to the toilet. 5. Drink normal quantities of water. Don't "hydrate" yourself, it has the same result as beer. 6. Have a good book so you catch up on reading. It is better than to rely on the plane's entertainment system. Sometimes it doesn't work. Also if you travel often most likely you have seen all movies. 7. Plan your time. If you are doing north-south like NY-Buenos Aires or London-J'burg try to sleep just after take off. If you are going East-West it is trickier, but for a 12+ hours I would wait at least 2h before sleeping. I sleep very well in the plane regardless of where I'm sitting. I have friends who can't sleep even if they are in First. In any event the one thing that I recommend you NEVER do is take sleeping aids. I have seen some very bad results.
