On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Can you help me visualize the components of the first velocity, and when the plane flies due south at the same velocity? I am afraid I can properly visualize or understand in simple terms what is asked. My point can you help to understand the right angle theorem to the angle.
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
An airplane is flying to a city due west from its current location. If there is a slight wind blowing to the southwest, in what direction must the plane head (that is, in what direction must it point)? Explain your answer using a diagram
You first walk 10 meters at an angle of 30 degrees East of North. Then,you walk 15 meters at an angle of 45 degrees South of East. Assume that East is +x and North is+y, and assume you started at the origin (0,0). A. Make a graph with x- and y-axes and draw your path on that graph (to scale, or at least asclose as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin, and the second vector at the tip ofthe first vector. Then, draw the resultant vector (their sum). B. Break each part of the walk into their x- and y-components and then sum them to get thex- and y-components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units and unit vectors. C. What is your displacement from where you originally started? D. If the whole walk took 40 seconds, then what was your average velocity
If you drive your car for 30 miles to the west, then 20 miles north of east at 60◦ and then 5 miles south, what is the displacement of your car from the origin in unit vector notation? What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement? Draw a diagram.
add the vectors GRAPHICALLY and please show your work with encoded solutions. Just answer given 1 stated and follow the other images for the format of answers A a car moves 10 km North, then turns 20 km West. Calculate the total displacement of the car? Scale: 0.5 cm = 2 km
Once upon a time,on a piece of paper Alice drew a vector 20cm long at 37 degree north of east. Next, Alice drew a vector 8.5cm long at 45 degree north of west, with the tail of this vector at the head of the previous vector. Finally, Alice drew a vector with a tail at the tail of her first vector and a head at the head of her second vector. I) how long is Alice's third vector? ii) What is the direction of Alice's third vector?
There is a formula that describes the range of a projectile under the conditions of this animation. The formula can be written as (attached is the formula). where R is the horizontal distance traveled, vinitial is the initial speed of the projectile (in the equation this is squared) and g is gravity (10 m/s2). sin (2 ?) is the trigonometry function sine, and you are taking sine of 2 times the angle the projectile is shot. So, if the angle is ? = 50 degrees, the formula would include a term sin (2 ?) = sin (2 x 50) = sin (100).For the following initial angles of projection, determine the range of the projectile by applying the range formula. Take the initial speed of the projectile to be 48 m/s and assume that gravity is 10 m/s2. If you do not have a scientific calculator, remember that you can use the calculator on your computer and choose to view "scientific". The trigonometry functions will become available.

A gardener walks in a flower garden as illustrated in the figure below. What distance does the gardener travel?m A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled Distance (meters) and a vertical axis that is also labeled Distance (meters). A garden path is drawn on the coordinate system, and four arrows represent the path the gardener walks. The arrows are as follows:From (0,6) to (2,6),from (2,6) to (2,5),from (2,5) to (4,5),and from (4,5) to (4,3).
If you want to go by train from Los Angeles to New York, you must make a stop. First, you musttravel 1800 miles East to reach New Orleans. Then you must travel 1300 miles at 45◦ North of Eastto reach New York.(a) Graph the vectors for each segment of the trip and the resulting displacement. Each tick markshould represent 300 miles.(b) If you flew directly from Los Angeles to New York, how far would the flight be? Please show your work
