In a meeting of mimes, mime 1 goes through a displacementand mime 2 goes through a displacement. What are (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) the component ofalong the direction of? (Hint: For (d), see Eq.3-20and fig3-18.)

Here are three vectors in meters:
localid="1654741448647"
localid="1654741501014"
What result from (a)localid="1654740492420" , (b) , and (c) localid="1654740727403" ?
A wheel with a radius of 45.0 cmrolls without slipping along a horizontal floor (Fig). At time t, the dot P painted on the rim of the wheel is at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor. At a later time t2, the wheel has rolled through one-half of a revolution. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to the floor) of the displacement of P?
Equation 3-2 shows that the addition of two vectorsis commutative. Does that mean subtraction is commutative, so that?
A car is driven east for a distance of 50 km, then north for 30 km, and then in a direction east of north for 25 km . Sketch the vector diagram and determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle of the car’s total displacement from its starting point.
