A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
The displacement vectors 42.0 cm at 15.0 and 23.0 cm at 65.0 both start from the origin and form two sides of a parallelogram. Both angles are measured counterclockwise from the x axis. (a) Find the area of the parallelogram. (b) Find the length of its longer diagonal.
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
Hi, I need to find out what the direction and angle of a vector would look like on a graph if it had a Fnet and the inverse tangent angle of: 114.2 and 52 degrees 120 and 52 degrees 87.6 and 48 degrees I can't really find any graphing tools that could help me graph the vector with this information.

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?

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 114 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 36.8°. How wide is the river? y= ?
