A train leaving Albuquerque travels 293 miles, due east, to Amarillo. The train spends a couple of days at the station in Amarillo and then heads back west 107 miles where it stops in Tucumcari. Suppose the positive x direction points to the east and Albuquerque is at the origin of this axis. a. What is the total distance traveled by the train from Albuquerque to Tucumcari? b. What is the displacement of the train for the entire journey? Give both answers in appropriate SI units.
Carolyn rides her bike 40.0 south of west for 5.40 miles as illustrated in Figure P3.25. What is the distance she would have to ride due south and due west to reach the same location?
(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
An aircraft undergoes two displacements. If the first displacement is directed at an angle of 225 with the positive x axis and has magnitude 30.0 miles, and if the resultant displacement is directed at an angle of 75.0 with the positive x axis and magnitude 22.0 miles, what are the magnitude and direction of the second displacement?
1)An airplane starting from airport A flies 300 km east, then 350 km at 30.0° west of north, and then 150km north to arrive finally at airport B. (a) The next day, another plane flies directly from A to B in astraight line. In what direction should the pilot travel in this direct flight? (b) How far will the pilot travelin this direct flight?
1. A foot ball is kicked vertically upward from the ground and a student gazing at a window sees it coming upward passed him at 16 ft/sec^2. The window is 30 ft above the ground. a) how high does the ball go above the ground? b) how long does it take to go from a height of 30 ft to the highest point?
Mr. M is walking to Mr. T’s house. He takes a short cut across an open field. His first displacement is 140m [E35N]. He then walks 200.0m [E]. What is Mr. M’s total displacement? (320m [E14N])
Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives 60 mimi north and 100 mimi east of her. She starts by driving east, but after 20 mimi she comes to a detour that takes her 15 mimi south before going east again. She then drives east for 8 mimi and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. 1. What is Ward's displacement vector? Give your answer in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north. 2.What is the magnitude of Ward's displacement vector? 3. What is the direction of Ward's displacement vector?
Mr. Brown takes a walk in the park. He first travels 600. m NW and then turns and walks 800. m @ 20.0° WoS. What is his overall displacement of his walk? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 771 m @ 25.1° SoW Thanks!!
3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s . A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 15 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south? Please answer in degrees west of south
1. A bus moves 150 m due North, then 100 m due South. What are the bus total distance and displacement? Using speed and velocity
1. An ant on a picnic table travels 30 cm eastward, then 25 cm northward, and finally 15 cm westward. What is the magnitude of the ant's displacement relative to its original position?2. For the winter, a duck flies 10.0 m/s due south against a gust of wind with a speed of 2.5 m/s. What is the resultant velocity of the duck?
