A chameleon is resting quietly on a lanai screen, waiting for an insect to come by. Assume the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system at the lower left-hand corner of the screen and the horizontal direction to the right as the +x -direction. If its coordinates are (2.000 m, 1.000 m), (a) how far is it from the corner of the screen? (b) What is its location in polar coordinates?
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 115 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and 184 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance.(a) what is the magnitude in meters?(b) what is the direction south of east?
Leila is in a bicycle road race. In the first leg, she rides 12km from Hague Park to Bluffer’s Park Beach. Thenshe turns and rides 17km to Ontario Science Centre, making a 74° angle from the first leg. Then, the final turnleads her back to Hague Park. a. What is the total length of the race, to the nearest kilometre? b. At what angles are the three locations situated with respect to each other?
A student bikes to school by traveling first N = 1.00 miles north, then W = 0.400 miles west, and finally S = 0.200 miles south. a. If a bird were to start out from the origin (where the student starts) and fly directly (in a straight line) to the school, what distance would the bird cover? b. Finally, find ϕ, the angle north of west of the path followed by the bird.
a)Using the tip-to-tail method on a labelled sketch, add the vectors below, includingyour resultant vector. Let ?⃑ be the solid-lined vector, and ?⃑⃑ the dashed-linevector. Use a dotted vector to represent the resultant vector, ?⃑⃑. b)Show how adding A+B will provide the same resultant vector as B+A. Let A be thesolid-lined vector, and B the dashed-line vector.
This is a two part problem. If you drive your car for 30 miles to the west, then 20 miles north of east at 60 degrees and then 5 miles south: A. What is the displacement of your car from the origin in unit vector notation? Draw a diagram to go along with your answer. B: What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement?
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.1 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.3 km at 53o north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp?
Help please ! if you can show a drawing along with the calculations that would really help me understand, thanks ! Use the component method of vector addition to obtain the direction of the sum of the two displacement vectors: A: 56km, west B: 40km, south of east
Two Part question please help solve. A). A vector has a magnitude of 12 units and a direction of 20 degrees (relative to the x-axis). Find the x-component of the vector (or, in other words, how far to the right does the vector take you?) B). A vector has a magnitude of 20 units and a direction of 65 degrees (relative to the x-axis). Find the y-component of the vector (or, in other words, how far up does the vector take you?)
