If ϕ = 90° − θ, what is the value of sin2 ϕ + sin2 θ?
A rabbit runs across a parking lot on which a set of coordinate axes has, strangely enough, been drawn. The coordinates (meters) of the rabbit’s position as functions of time t (seconds) are given by x=-0.31t2 + 7.2t + 28 (4-5) and y =0.22t2 - 9.1t + 30. (4-6) (a) At t = 15 s, what is the rabbit’s position vector in unitvector notation and in magnitude-angle notation?
If the displacement of a point along x-axis is u = 3 mm and the displacement along y-axis is v = 2 mm, and if “t” is an axis making an angle of 30o in the clockwise direction with respect to x-axis, what would be the displacements of this point ut and vn along the orthogonal axes “t” and “n”, respectively?
Select one:
ut = 3.598 mm and vn = 0.232 mm
ut = 0.232 mm and vn = 3.598 mm
ut = 3.232 mm and vn =1.598 mm
ut = 1.598 mm and vn = 3.232 mm

- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. 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, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)?
