In a game held within a three dimensional maze, you must move your game piece from start, at xyz coordinates (0,0,0), to finish, at coordinates (-2cm,4cm,-4cm).The game piece can undergo only the displacements (in centimeters) given below. If, along the way, the game piece lands at coordinates(-5cm,-1cm,-1cm)or (5cm,2cm,-1cm), you lose the game. Which displacements and in what sequence will get your game piece to finish?

role="math" localid="1657006865865" p⃗=-7i^+2j^-3k^r⃗=2i^-3j^+2k^q⃗=2i^-j^+4k^s⃗=3i^+5j^-3k^

Short Answer

Expert verified

The sequence of the displacements will bep⃗-s⃗-r⃗.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

  • Starting coordinates(0,0,0)
  • Finishing coordinates (-2cm,4cm,-4cm)
  • Coordinates that are not allowed (-5cm,-1 cm,-1 cm)and(5cm,2cm,-1cm)
02

To understand the concept

The vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction. The vectors cannot be added using simple mathematical operations. Two vectors can be added only when they are of the same type and nature. To add the vectors, we can use the laws of vector addition.

Formula:

A→+B→=C→

03

To find the displacements in sequence to finish the game piece

Let us start with displacement p⃗=-7i^+2j^-3k^

After that, we can use displacements⃗=3i^+5j^-3k^

By adding these two displacements we can reach a point say A.

role="math" localid="1657007161563" p⃗+s⃗=(-7i^+2j^-3k^)+(3i^+5j^-3k^)p⃗+s⃗=(-4i^+7j^-"6k^)

Now, we will use displacement

r⃗=(2i^-3j^+2k^)A→+r→=(-4i^+7j^-6k^)+(2i^-3j^+2k^)A→+r→=(-2i^+4j^-4k^)

We can ensure to avoid the points(-5cm,-1 cm,-1 cm) as we have not moved to negative y axis.

And also, it is ensured that we cannot come across point(5cm,2cm,-1cm)as we have not moved to positive x axis.

Thus, the sequence of the displacements will be p→-s→-r→.

A room has dimensions 3.00m(height)×3.70×4.30m. A fly starting at one corner flies around, ending up at the diagonally opposite corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) Could the length of its path be less than this magnitude? (c) Greater? (d) Equal? (e) Choose a suitable coordinate system and express the components of the displacement vector in that system in unit-vector notation. (f) If the fly walks, what is the length of the shortest path? (Hint: This can be answered without calculus. The room is like a box. Unfold its walls to flatten them into a plane.)
