(1)

To determine

To Draw: The position vectors for each of the two locations A and B , and the vector that represents the displacement from A and B .

(2)

To determine

To Describe: Direction of average velocity of the object between A and B .

To Draw: The vector to represent average velocity.

(3)

To determine

To Describe:Whether the direction of average velocity over the interval AB does change or not if a point B lies in between point AandB .

(4)

To determine

To Describe: The direction of the instantaneous velocity of the object at point A .

To Characterize: The direction of the instantaneous velocity at any point on the trajectory and whether it depends on speed of object or not.

In the figure the dashed orange vector is the diagonal of a parallelogram. My question is why is that the diagonal or if there wasn’t steps b & c how do you know it’s the diagonal?
Graph all the vectors and solve for what is unknown in the problem. Show your complete NEAT solution. 1. Using sine and cosine law compute for the Resultant and the angle that R makes with the horizontal. Given vectors: V1 = 3 m, 30 degrees N of E. V2 = 4 m, 30 degrees N of E.
A coordinate system is laid out along the bars of a large 3D jungle gym (the figure below). You start at the origin and then move according to the following steps. For each step, the distance (in meters) and direction in which you move are given by the cross product A X B of the given vectors A and B. For example, the first move is 18 m in the +z direction. What is the magnitude dnet of your final displacement from the origin? (Please, i have trouble with this question)
