A displacement vector in the xy plane is long and directed at angle in Fig.3-26 . Determine (a) the x component and (b) the y component of the vector1.
A fire ant, searching for hot sauce in a picnic area, goes through three displacements along level ground: for 0.40 msouthwest (that is, at from directly south and from directly west),for 0.50 mdue east,for 0.60 matnorth of east. Let the positive x direction be east and the positive y direction be north. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of? Next, what are (c) the x component and (d) the y component of? Also, what are (e) the x component and (f) the y component of?
What are (g) the x component, (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and (j) the direction of the ant鈥檚 net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?
Find the (a), (b), and (c)components of the sum of the displacements and whose components in meters are
has the magnitudeand is angledcounterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis of an coordinate system. Also,on that same coordinate system. We now rotate the system counter clockwise about the origin by to form an system. On this new system, what are (a)and (b), both in unit-vector notation?
In a game of lawn chess, where pieces are moved between the centers of squares that are each 1.00m on edge, a knight is moved in the following way: (1) two squares forward, one square rightward; (2) two squares leftward, one square forward; (3) two squares forward, one square leftward. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to 鈥渇orward鈥) of the knight鈥檚 overall displacement for the series of three moves?
