An electric train moves in a northerly direction at 100 km an hour. The wind blow in an easterly direction at 50 km per hour. In which direction does the smoke go?

mmmh, didn't know electric trains had smoke.

Thanks.

To determine the direction in which the smoke goes, we need to understand the interaction between the train's movement and the wind direction.

Typically, the smoke generated by the train's engine is influenced primarily by the wind. The smoke will generally move in the same direction as the wind, or slightly deviate due to other factors such as air currents or obstacles.

In this scenario, the train is moving in a northerly direction at 100 km/h, while the wind is blowing in an easterly direction at 50 km/h. Since the wind is blowing perpendicular to the train's path, it is unlikely to have a significant impact on the direction of the smoke.

In normal conditions, the direction of the smoke should follow the natural flow of air, which is influenced by any prevailing wind patterns in the area. However, without knowing the exact conditions or any potential obstructions around the train, it is challenging to determine the precise direction of the smoke.

In summary, the smoke from the train will generally disperse in the same direction as the wind (eastward in this case), or its direction may be influenced by other factors such as air currents and obstacles around the train.
