Consider the change in velocity vector between two points on the velocity diagram that are not consecutive. e.g., points 1 and 4.
Is the direction of the change in velocity vector different than it was for consecutive Points? Explain.
Is the length of the change in velocity vector different than it was tor consecutive points? If so, how many times larger or smaller is it than the corresponding vector for consecutive points? Explain.

- 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?arrow_forwardAssuming the axis is horizontal to the right for the vectors in the following figure, find the following scalar products (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (g) and (h)arrow_forwardCarolyn rides her bike 40.0 south of west for 5.40 miles as illustrated in Figure P3.25. What is the distance she would have to ride due south and due west to reach the same location?arrow_forward
- You first walk 10 m at an angle of 30° east of north. Then you walk 15 m at an angle of 45° south of east. Assume that East is X and north is why and assume we start at the origin (0,0). A. Make a graph with X and Y axis and draw your path on that graph (to scale or at least as close as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin in the second vector at the top of the first vector. Then draw the resultant vector (their sum)B. Break each part of the walk into their ex and Y components and then some them to get the X and Y components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units in unit vectors.C. What is your displacement from where you originally started?D. If the whole walk took 40 seconds then what was your average velocity?arrow_forwardCan you explain how you draw the graph and do the problems. Thank youarrow_forwardA car moves 4.0 km in a straight line in a direction 40º East of North. It then moves 7.0 km 20o South of East. Sketch the trip as accurately as you can. Show the coordinate axes. Label all vectors. Show the resultant displacement. Use the analytical method to solve for the magnitude and direction of the resultant. Show all equations and steps in the calculations. Do the calculations match the graph you have drawn in part (A)?arrow_forward
- please please help me with this one problem that relates to every part in here!! they all relate to each other. you need one for another. please help me i am stuck!!! thank you. it takes 4 seconds to reach the bottom of tower. Use a coordinate system where up is positive and the origin is at the bottom of the tower.arrow_forwardSolve it correctly please.

What is his resultant displacement? a) Estimate the displacement graphically. Component form: Polar form: b) Find the displacement using the component method. Give your answer in both polar form and component form. Component form: Polar form:arrow_forward
- A dog is so excited that they run from their pet bed 2m 25 degrees N of W to your bed, they then stop and turn around to run 4 m due S to where you are standing, they then run 0.4m 60 degrees N of E, only to finally run another 4m at a 45 degree angle S of E. Find the resultant vector that describes how far from the initial position your pet winds up by following the steps below: a. Draw your vector diagram, labeling each vector and the resultant vector. b. Separately draw each of the four vectors that will be added and find and box-in the x and y components (with appropriate signs) of each of the four vectors. c. Use your previous work to find the resultant displacement vector and write the answer in unit vector notation.arrow_forwardis Vectors are represented by arrows. The length of the arrows indicate the magnitude of the vector, and the arrowhead points to the direction of the vector. In our example, the displacement is drawn at a scale: 1 cm = 10 cm, directed to the east. ne EXERCISES 1. A group of mountain climbers walked 10 km north from their camp, then walked 20 km more to the east. a. What was the total distance walked by the mountain climbers? b. Determine the total displacement from the starting point. 2. I walked 1 km N, 2 km E, 3 km S, and then 4 km W. What is the total distance I traveled? What is my total displacement? The speed of an object is a measure of how fast it moves. If the object is moving from on position to another in a measured time, its average speed v is obtained by dividing the distan traveled by the time taken to cover the distance.

She then made a right hand turn and walked 2 m down the end aisle. Finally, she made another right hand turn and walked 2 m in the opposite direction as her original direction. Determine the magnitude of Mia's resultant displacement. (The actual direction is not the focus.)arrow_forward
