Why is the following situation impossible? A shopper pushing a cart through a market follows directions to the canned goods and moves through a displacement 8.00 îm down one aisle. He then makes a 90.0° turn and moves 3.00 m along the y axis. He then makes another 90.0° turn and moves 4.00 m along the x axis. Every shopper who follows these directions correctly ends up 5.00 m from the starting point.
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the
entrance and moves the following distances in a hori-
zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m
at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south.
Find her resultant displacement from the cave
entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not
drawn to scale.
Multiple Concept Example 9 deals with the concepts that are important in this problem. A grasshopper makes four jumps. The
displacement vectors are (1) 37.0 cm, due west; (2) 34.0 cm, 32.0° south of west; (3) 20.0 cm, 58.0° south of east; and (4) 17.0 cm,
79.0° north of east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of the resultant displacement. Express the direction as a positive angle
with respect to due west.
