Ecotourists use their global positioning system indicator to determine their location inside a botanical garden as latitude 0.002 43 degree south of the equator, longitude 75.642 38 degrees west. They wish to visit a tree at latitude 0.001 62 degree north, longitude 75.644 26 degrees west. (a) Determine the straight-line distance and the direction in which they can walk to reach the tree as follows. First model the Earth as a sphere of radius 6.37 106 m to determine the westward and northward displacement components required, in meters. Then model the Earth as a flat surface to complete the calculation. (b) Explain why it is possible to use these two geometrical models together to solve the problem.
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
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
