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.

yeah it would be impossible if max speed was 10mperS cuz it'd have to fly 10mperS west in order to stay in the same position, if it tried to fly north at all it would loose speed in the west direction and be blown towards the east.

btw 10mperS for a bird is fucking fast...
