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?

Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept

In a two-dimensional coordinate system, vectors can be split into component x and component y. Using these components, the magnitude of the vector is calculated. Also, the magnitude angle notation can be used to find out the direction of the vector. Here, east is indicating positive x axis and north is indicating positive y axis.

Given

Here vector d1has magnitude d1=4.0m. Similarly

d2has magnitude d2=5.00mand

d2has magnitude d3=6.0m

Using the standard notation of direction and taking all the angles positive with respect to positive x axis in the anticlockwise direction, it gives

02

To find x and y component of vector d1→

Substituting the given magnitude and direction in equation (i) and (ii),

The x and y component of d1is written as

d1x=d1cos1=-2.83md1y=d1蝉颈苍胃1=-2.83m

03

To find x and y component of vector d2→

Substituting the given magnitude and direction in equation (i) and (ii),

The x and y component of d2is written as

d2x=d2cos1=5md2y=d2蝉颈苍胃1=0m

04

To find x and y component of vector d3→

Substituting the given magnitude and direction in equation (i) and (ii),

The x and y component ofd3 is written as

d3x=d3cos3=3.0md3y=d3蝉颈苍胃3=5.20m

05

To find x and y component of net displacement

The net displacement for x and y component is given by

dx=d1x+d2x+d3xdx=-2.83m+5.0+3.0mdx=5.17mdx=d1y+d2y+d3ydx=-2.83m+0m+5.20mdx=2.37m

06

To find the magnitude of net displacement

The magnitude of net displacement is given by

d=dx2+dy2d=5.17m2+2.37m2d=5.69m

07

To find the direction of the net displacement

The direction is given by

=tan-1dydx=tan-12.375.17=24.6

This means it pointing at 25north of east

08

To find new displacement and direction

When the particle returns to its initial position, the net displacement is 0. In this case

For the particle to return to its original position, the new displacement should be negative or opposite to its net displacement. Therefore, the new displacement has same magnitude of 5.69 m. And it is pointing in opposite direction so, the direction is at 25south of west.

A man goes for a walk, starting from the origin of an xyz coordinate system, with the xy plane horizontal and the x axis eastward. Carrying a bad penny, he walks1300meast,2200mnorth, and then drops the penny from a cliff 410mhigh. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the penny from start to its landing point? (b) When the man returns to the origin, what is the magnitude of his displacement for the return trip?

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?

Being part of the 鈥淕ators,鈥 the University of Florida golfing team must play on a putting green with an alligator pit. Figure 3-22 shows an overhead view of one putting challenge of the team; an xy coordinate system is superimposed. Team members must putt from the origin to the hole, which is at xy coordinates (8 m, 12 m), but they can putt the golf ball using only one or more of the following displacements, one or more times:d1鈬赌=(8m)i^+(6m)j^,d2鈬赌=(6m)j^,d3鈬赌=(8m)i^The pit is at coordinates (8 m, 6 m). If a team member putts the ball into or through the pit, the member is automatically transferred to Florida State University, the arch rival. What sequence of displacements should a team member use to avoid the pit and the school transfer?

A golfer takes three putts to get the ball into the hole. The first putt displaces the ball 3.66mnorth, the second 1.83msoutheast, and the third 0.91m southwest. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the displacement needed to get the ball into the hole on the first putt?

Typical backyard ants often create a network of chemical trails for guidance. Extending outward from the nest, a trail branches (bifurcates) repeatedly, with60between the branches. If a roaming ant chances upon a trail, it can tell the way to the nest at any branch point: If it is moving away from the nest, it has two choices of path requiring a small turn in its travel direction, either30leftward30or rightward. If it is moving toward the nest, it has only one such choice. Figure 3-29shows a typical ant trail, with lettered straight sections of 20 cmlength and symmetric bifurcation of60. Path v is parallel to the y axis. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the positive direction of the superimposed x axis) ofan ant鈥檚 displacement from the nest (find it in the figure) if the ant enters the trail at point A? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) angle if it enters at point B?
