A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
A delivery man starts at the post office, chives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to stop for lunch. Use a graphical method to find his net displacement vector.
Figure P3.60 illustrates the difference in proportions between the male (m) and female (f) anatomies. The displacements d1m. and d1f from the bottom of the feet to the navel have magnitudes of 104 cm and 84.0 cm, respectively. The displacements d2m and d2f have magnitudes of 50.0 cm and 43.0 cm, respectively. (a) Find the vector sum of the displacements dd1 and dd2 in each case. (b) The male figure is 180 cm tall, the female 168 cm. Normalize the displacements of each figure to a common height of 200 cm and re-form the vector sums as in part (a). Then find the vector difference between the two sums. Figure P3.60
Do Exercise 3.16 again using analytical techniques and change the second leg of the walk to 25.0 m straight south. (This is equivalent to subtracting B from A —that is, finding R=AB ) (b) Repeat again, but now you first walk 25.0 m north and then 18.0 m east. (This is equivalent to subtract A from B —that is, to find A=B+C. Is that consistent with your result?)
A man in a maze makes three consecutive displacements. His first displacement is 8.00 m westward, and the second is 13.0 m northward. At the end of his third displacement he is back to where he started. Use the graphical method to find the magnitude and direction of his third displacement.
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B as in Figure 3.55, then this problem asks you to find their sum R=A+B .)
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?
Review. You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60 103 m. At time t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0=7.60103m. At t = 30.0 s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04103i+7.60103j)m as suggested in Figure P3.31. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t = 45.0 s. Figure P3.31
