Directions: Consider the diagram below. Nine labeled locations are provided on a grid. Each square on the grid represents a 20-meter x 20-meter area. Right on the grid is in the eastern direction and upward on the grid is in the northward direction. Use the grid to answer the next few questions. 1. Suppose that a person starts at a position A and walks to position E, and then to position G. First, graph the vectors to visually see the vectors including the resulting vector. Make the measurements of the grid. Finally, find the magnitude and direction of the resulting displacement.

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.
he map below shows that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas, and that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. Assuming the Earth may be approximated as flat across this map, what is the displacement from Dallas to Chicago? Find its magnitude (in mi) and direction (in degrees) as measured counterclockwise from due east of Dallas. A map shows a part of the United States that contains Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago. Dallas is at the bottom left of the map and a vector labeled "730 mi"points eastwards from Dallas to Atlanta at an angle of 5.00° counterclockwise from due east. Atlanta is at the bottom right of the map and a vector labeled "560 mi" points northwards from Atlanta to Chicago at an angle of 21.0°counterclockwise from due north. Chicago is at the top of the map, horizontally between Dallas and Atlanta. magnitude midirection ° counterclockwise from due east of Dallas
The figure shows three paths taken along the horizontal axis. Each path begins at the circular dot beneath the letter denoting the path's name and ends at the very tip of the arrow. In your calculations, round to the nearest integer. A. What is the distance traveled, in meters, for path C? B. What is the magnitude of the displacement from start to finish, in meters, for path C? C. What is the displacement from start to finish, in meters, for path C?
Imagine that the y-axis points north and the x-axis points east. (a) If you travel a distance r= 22km in a straight line from the origin in a direction 35 degrees south of west, what is your position in Cartesian (x,y) coordinates? (b) If you travel 6 miles due south from the origin and then turn west and travel 2 miles, how far from the origin and in what direction is your final position?
The layout of the town of Popperville is a perfectly square grid, with blocks 100 feet long (Fig. P3.8). A cat leaves her house and travels to Mike Mulligans place 4 blocks west and 3 blocks north of its starting point. After lapping up the milk that Mike always leaves out, the cat travels an additional 1 block north and 3 blocks east to Mrs. McGillicuttys house. a. On your paper, carefully copy the grid of streets that contains the cats house, Mike Mulligans house, and Mrs. McGillicuttys house. Then draw and label three displacement vectors on your sketch: r1, the cats displacement from her house to Mike Mulligans; r2, the cats displacement from Mike Mulligans to Mrs. McGillicuttys; and rtot, the cats total displacement. b. Write an equation to relate the three displacement vectors you have drawn. c. Is the distance the cat traveled greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the cats total displacement vector? Explain. FIGURE P3.8
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
