Short Answer

Expert verified

a) x component of vector sum ris1.59m

b) y component of vector sum ris12.1m

c) Magnitude of vector sum ris12.2m

c) Angle ris82.5

Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept

This problem involves the addition of two vectors aand b . Using the following relations x and y components of the vector sumrcan be found and similarly the magnitude and the angle respectively.

localid="1656155400549" r=r=x2+y2 (i)

=tan-1yx (ii)

Given

Two vectors and a=10mandb=10m

two angles and 1=30and2=105

02

To find x component of vector sum r→

x component of the vector sum r is given by

rx=acos1+bcos2r=10mcos30+10m135rx=1.59m

03

To find y component of vector sum r→

y component of vector sum ris

04

To find magnitude of vector sum r→

Using equation (i) the magnitude of vectorris written as

r=r=1.59m2+12.1m2r=12.2m

05

To find angle of vector sum r→

The angler makes with the positive direction of the x axis is

A room has dimensions 3.00m(height)3.704.30m. 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.)

A particle undergoes three successive displacements in a plane, as follows:d1, 4.00 m southwest; then d2, 5.00 m east; and finally d3, 6.00 m in a direction 60north of east. Choose a coordinate system with the y axis pointing north and the x axis pointing east. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of d1? What are (c) the x component and (d) the y component of d2? What are (e) the component and (f) the y component of d3? Next, consider the net displacement of the particle for the three successive displacements. What are (g) the x component, (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and ( j) the direction of the net displacement? If the particle is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?

You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (-140 m,30 m . The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters:(20 and 60) , then (bxand-70), then (-20 andsy) , then (-60 and -70) . What are (a) component and (b) component ? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the angle (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement?
