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
Milestone A: Walk 3.2 km (~2 miles) towards northeast. Milestone B: Walk 1.3 km towards southeast. Milestone C: Walk 2.4 km directly south. Surprise at the end! You have arrived at the treasure! Distance: What is the total distance traveled if you walk the distance A, B, C? Give your answer in km and miles. 2. Direction: a. what is meant by “north east?” b. what direction would this be on a cartesian coordinate system? c. What is meant by “south east?” d. What direction would this be on a cartesian coordinate system? e. What about “south”? f. What direction on cartesian coordinate system? 3. Draw the diagram: include drawing the resultant a. What does the resultant vector represent? 4. Calculate: use trigonometry to find the displacement.
Sarah traveled 90 km at a certain speed. In going back, she increased her speed by 10 km/hr. If it took her a total of 10/3 hours, what was her original speed? Explain also. Create an expression to: Sarah traveled 90 km at a certain speed. Create another expression to: In going back, she increased her speed by 10 km/hr. Formula: v = d/t
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,…
please help with question number 7 i did it but i think it’s wrong please correct it thank you
A plane flies northwest out of O'Hare Airport in Chicago at a speed of 400 km/hr in a direction of 150 degrees (i.e., 30 degrees north of west). The Canadian border is located a distance of 1500 km due north of Chicago. The plane will cross into Canada after approximately ____ hours.
I am not sure how to answer question #7 with the calculations that I have previously found in Questions #4 and #5. Please help me to answer question #7.
Hi, I just need help with Part 2 of 4 please. The answer I submitted of 4.592 × 1010 was not correct even in real number form and scientific e notation form.
Each square on the diagram represents a 20-meter x 20-meter area. If a person walks from H to E to C to G , then what is the distance walked in meters? If a person walks from H to E to C to G , then what is the magnitude of the displacement in meters? If a person walks from H to E to C to G , then what is the direction of the displacement's degree?
Taking into account that the path is the one indicated by the blue color (The perimeter of a circle is found with the equation 2 * 3,1416 * radius), determine the distance and the displacement from A to C and from A to D. If the distance between point A and D was traveled in 20 seconds, determine the average speed and velocity at which this was done. (Between A and the center there are 100m and between C and D 80m)
A swimmer who can consistently keep the same pace to cover 50 meters in 6.8 seconds sets out to swim across a river. The current in the river moves at 3.2 meters per second as the swimmer keeps a constant pace trying to get directly across (at a right angle to the current). What is the actual speed of the swimmer compared to land? (Your answer should be in meters per second. Remember to calculate a speed first, then add vectors using Pythagorean Theorem)
