Answer to Question #167652 in Physics for Jared

Question

An Angry Bird™ was launched at the speed of 175 m/s into the air at an angle of 30° above the ground. As it reaches maximum height, a wind with air current speed of 300 m/s sent the ball perpendicularly off-course. What is the speed of the air current with respect to the Angry Bird™?

Answer 1

$$v_x=v\cos{30}$$

The speed of the air current with respect to the Angry Bird:

$$V=\sqrt{300^2+(175\cos{}30)^2}=336\frac{m}{s}$$
