Methods for finding the resultant vector?
You can add vectors graphically, by drawing them head-to-tail. Algebraically, you can separate them into components (for example, in two dimensions, the horizontal and the vertical component), then add those.
What is a plane?
A plane has several quite different meanings. A plane isA tree, otherwise known as a SycamoreA flat surface, more often conceptual than physicalA tool for smoothing a piece of woodOne of the lifting surfaces of an airplane - usually the tail-plane (aka horizontal stabiliser) or the wing (sometimes called main-plane)A level of thought or existenceA short form of airplane (q.v.). Strictly this one should be written 'plane not plane.
How do you graph the addition of complex numbers?
Consider the Complex Plane, with Real numbers along the horizontal axis, and Pure Imaginary numbers on the vertical axis. Any Complex number (a + ib) can be plotted as a point (a,b) on this plane. The point can be represented as a vector from the 'origin' (0,0) to the point (a1,b1). If the second 'complex vector' (a2,b2) is added to the first, this can be shown as a translated vector with it's 'tail' starting at the arrowhead of the first vector, and then the arrowhead of the second vector will terminate at the sum of: a1 + ib1 + a2+ ib2 [coordinate point: (a1+a2,b1+b2)
With a vertical velocity of 2.9m per second and a horizontal velocity of 8.3m per second what is the angle of takeoff?
About 19.24 degrees, assuming no change of velocity in either direction. Draw two vectors. A horizontal vector of length 8.3. and a vertical vector of length 2.9 and connect the "tail" of the second to the "head" or "arrow" of the first. You should have a horizontal line segment of 8.3 and a vertical line segment of 2.9 rising from the right end of the horizontal line segment. You'll have two sides of a right triangle, with the right angle on your right. Connect the ends of the two segments with another segment, and that's the hypotenuse of your right triangle. You're interested in the angle on the left - the takeoff angle. You know the length of the side opposite it and the length of the side adjacent to it. The tangent function is opposite over adjacent. tan = opp / adj You need the angle whose tangent is found by dividing the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side. When we see "the angle whose tangent is" we use arctangent. We'll use T as the takeoff angle. arctan T = 2.9 / 8.3 = .349 arctan of .349 = 19.24o
What does an elevator on a plane do?
An elevator on a airplane are tabs on the tail that control its up and down motion in the air
Do sharks or whales have a horizontal tail?
whales are the ones that have a horizontal tail with all the sea mammals. sharks and every sea creature has a vertical tail for every sea creature that breaths with the gillsilts.
What is empanage?
The tail assembly of an aircraft, including the horizontal and vertical stabilizers, elevators, and rudder.
How do you use the word horizontal in a sentence?
A horizontal line runs from side to side, while a vertical line extends up and down. The horizontal stabilizer is mounted on the tail of a plane and provides stability in level flight. In portrait mode, an image or display is narrower in horizontal measurement.
Where is the vertical stabliser used in airplane?
it is used at the tail end of plane which is used for to make the plane turn
Which parts of the plane create lift?
The wings and horizontal tail surfaces create lift.
How do scientists know whale sharks are sharks?
because of the tail whale tails are horizontal and shark tails are vertical
Why does the back of a plane have three points?
The tail of the typical airplane is made up of two horizontal wings which are called the horizontal stabilizers. the have flaps in the back of them that will stabilize the attitude of the plane at varying speeds. without it it would never get of the ground or stay in the air. The wing that points upwards is the vertical stabilizer and can be compared to the keel on a boat it will control the direction that the plain is pointed in.
What is a AC-130's tail wing shape?
Like any other plane's tail wing, a horizantal fin and a vertical one on it
What is the meaning of t-tail aircraft?
Most typical aircraft have a conventional tail layout that looks like an upside down 'T' with the vertical stabilizer intersecting the horizontal stabilizer at its bottom end. A T-tail aircraft has the horizontal stabilizer at the top of the vertical stabilizer. So instead of an upside down 'T', it looks like a proper 'T'. For an example see the link below.
What are the parts of an airplane?
fuselage wings ailerons flaps landing gear tail vertical stabilizer horizontal stabilizer rudder elevators engine
What is the name of the device in the vertical stabilizer or tail of a plane that controls its side to side movement?
The Rudder in the vertical stabiliser controls its side to side movement (Also known as Yaw).
What are some parts of a plane?
The main parts are the:Fuselage (the body with the wings and tail cut off)Wings (lifting surface)Tail Section (the rear of the plane, includes the horizontal stabilizers, and vertical stabilizer)If you want to be more in-depth:On the fuselage: DoorsCockpitWindowsNose landing gearMain landing gear (on most small aircraft)Engine (on most single engine aircraft)On the wings: AileronsFlapsAir spoilersWing letsEngines (On most larger aircraft, including two engine aircraft)In the tail section: Engines (On most regional jets like the CRJ-700 or DC-10)Horizontal stabilizer: ElevatorsVertical stabilizer: Rudder
