A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0m,220.0m),(60.0m,80.0m),(210.0m,210.0m),(40.0m,230.0m), and (270.0m,60.0m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in above figure. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A,B,C,D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance,…
I dont quite understand. Why is it asking at 4.23s, 4.89s, it is a straight line. Can someone help with this? Those answers are all wrong
A ship bearing N 30-degrees W moves 3 hours at 17 miles per hour. It then turns 50 degrees starboard (to the right) to continue for 4 hours at 21 miles per hour. Finally the ship turns to a bearing of S 20-degrees E and travels for 1 hour at 12 miles per hour. Where is the ship's final location relative to its start?
An airplane leaves Lansing flying due southwest at 300 km/hr, and a second plane leaves Lansing at the same time flying due west at 500 km/hr. How far apart are the airplanes after 2 hours?
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 182 ft, then climbs 117 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 117 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) Magnitude = ? Direction = 356.5 degrees counterclockwise from the + x-axis
I don't know how to do this graphically because they both lie on the axises.
Two ships pursue straight-line courses at steady speeds. At each time t (in hours, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 5), the positions of the two ships are given by: Ship A: (10t + 30, 45 - 20t) Ship B: (12t + 30, 35 - 19t) These coordinates are with reference to a particular coordinate system, with distance measured in kilometres. What is the closest distance to which the ships approach each other and when does this closest distance occur? Give you answers exactly. The closest distance of approach is ? km This occurs at time t = ? hour(s)
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 172 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) Sig figs Considered.

How would the acceleration due to gravity change at the peak of Mt. Everest (29000 ft or 8850 m)? How high do you think you would have to be to see a significant difference? Explain.
Hi, I would just like to ask why is it necessary to use the acquired coordinates from point 1 in order to acquire the coordinates of point 2, the same way that the acquired coordinates from point 2 were used to acquire the coordinates of the friends locatio?. Thank you.
What is the direction below the x-axis?
