Why or why not?arrow_forwarda/ What is scalar component of vector W in direction of vector P? b/ Smallest angle vector P makes with unit vector z?arrow_forwardAn airplane flies 200 km due west from city A to city B and then 300 km in the direction of 30.0° north of west from city B to city C. (a) In straight-line distance, how far is city C from city A? (b) Relative to city A, in what direction is city C? (c) Why is the answer only approximately correct?arrow_forward
- The chaos of the pandemic is finally over, and you decide to drive to your friend's house to pick her up, and take her back to your house before going out. She lives 4 miles straight East from you. a. What is the displacement of your journey in miles? b. What is the distance of your journey in miles?arrow_forwardSuppose that you walk 22 blocks north, 16 blocks east, and 26 blocks south and the city blocks all have the same length. a.) How many blocks are you from where you started? b.) In what direction are you from where you started, measured counterclockwise from due east?arrow_forwardA room has the dimensions 10 ft × 12 ft × 14 ft. A fly starting at one corner ends up at a diametrically opposite corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) Could the length of its path be less than this distance? Greater than this distance? Equal to this distance? (c) Choose a suitable coordinate system and find the components of the displacement vector in this frame. (d) If the fly walks rather than flies, what is the length of the shortest path it can take?arrow_forward
- Two vectors ??⃗ and ??�⃗ in three dimensional space are expressed by their coordinates (2, 4, – 5) and (1, 2, 3) respectively. a) Write down the two vectors ??⃗ and ??�⃗ in unit vector notations. (1 mark) b) Find the angles which the vector ??⃗ = (2, 4, – 5) makes with the -x, +y and +z axes. (6 marks)c) Find the projection of the vector ??⃗ = (2, 3, 1) in the perpendicular direction to the vector ??�⃗ = (1, 2, 3). (3 marks)arrow_forwardThe reason we typically use rectangular coordinates for two-dimensional or three-dimensional motion is that all the axes are orthogonal to each other. That is if we have unit vectors x^,y^,z^, then: (1) x^⋅y^=x^⋅z^=y^⋅z^=0 So as long as your coordinate system uses axes that are all orthogonal to each other, you can use any coordinate system!For example, we can use the following coordinate systems: POLAR COORDINATES f(r,θ): Ax=rcosθ Ay=rsinθ Explain how Equation (1) applies to polar coordinates?arrow_forwardA moving walkway at an airport has a speed v1 1 and a length L. A woman stands on the walkway as it moves from one end to the other, while a man in a hurry to reach his flight walks on the walkway with a speed of v2 relative to the moving walkway. (a) How long does it take the woman to travel the distance L? (b) How long does it take the man to travel this distance?arrow_forward
- A chameleon is resting quietly on a lanai screen, waiting for an insect to come by. Assume the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system at the lower left-hand corner of the screen and the horizontal direction to the right as the +x-direction. If its coordinates are (2.000 m, 1.000 m), (a) how far is it from the corner of the screen? (b) What is its location in polar coordinates?arrow_forwardTwo vectors in Cartesian coordinates have components A = (3, 3, 1) and B = (4, 2, 5). 1. What is the length of the vector A? 2.
