Physics Phail

Easy physics question, but I fail:

Q: A sparrow’s maximum air speed is 10m/s. She wants to fly to her nest 10m due north, but there is a wind blowing from W to E at 10m/s. What direction should she fly?

A: It can’t be done. Velocity will be northeast.


Seriously. Physics 1. I hate physics.  I liek math.

it may be able to fly directly west
Then it would have an air speed > 10m/s, which cannot happen according to the question.
