(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
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 .)
A hiker starts at his camp and moves the following distances while exploring his surroundings: 75.0 m north, 2.50 102 m east, 125 m at an angle 30.0 north of east, and 1.50 102 m south. (a) Find his resultant displacement from camp. (Take east as the positive x-direction and north as the positive y-direction.) (b) Would changes in the order in which the hiker makes the given displacements alter his final position? Explain.
If you know the position vectors of a particle at two points along its path and also know the time interval during which it moved from one point to the other, can you determine the particles instantaneous velocity? Its average velocity? Explain.
Give a specific example of a vector, stating its magnitude, units, and direction.
Suppose you add two vectors A and B. What relative direction between them produces the resultant with the greatest magnitude? What is the maximum magnitude? What relative direction them produces the resultant with the smallest magnitude? What is the minimum magnitude?
Do not solve the full qn My question is why is the vector VAot = 1.5 and VAon =-2.6 as shown in the solution. I understand VAot is = -3cos30=-1.5 and VAon = -3sin30 =-2.6 Why is it postive 1.5 instead of negative 1.5 or for VAon why isit negative 2.6 and not positive 2.6? Why is Vb1t = -0.866 and not 0.866 and Vb1n = -0.5 and not 0.5. I dont get it how to visualise the vector direction. Please use a vector diagram with the angles to illustrate it.

1. How many seconds will it take for vector A to reach point x? How about vector B? Calculate the magnitude of velocity of vector B relative to vector A.
Hi please help, I am not sure how to solve this problem. If you are walking 400m east but then decide to turn back and walk 700m west, all within 10 minutes, what is the total distance that you covered and what is the displacement relative to where you started? Assume that east is the positive direction
1A. You're feeding the fish at the pond by the baseball field and decide to do some physics calculations. You notice that you release the fish food 1.65 m above the surface of the water, and during one throw, when the food left your hand at 3.20 m/s with a direction of 13.0° below the horizon, you managed to hit a fish near the surface. How fast was the food going right before it hits the fish? 1B.Two kittens are running toward each other, one is named Chloe and the other is named Luna. Luna runs at a speed of 1.40 m/s. If Chloe jumps at an angle of 37.0° with speed 2.70 m/s, at what distance from Luna should Chloe jump to make sure she lands on Luna?
Graphical drafting programs, like AutoCAD, will graph and add vectors, showing the resultant and providing its coordinates. Is AutoCAD adding the vectors graphically and measuring the resultant, or is it adding the vectors algebraically and graphing the resultant? Why?
