(a) In unit-vector notation, what is the sum if and ? What are the (b) magnitude and (c) direction of ?
A protester carries his sign of protest, starting from the origin of ancoordinate system, with theplane horizontal. He movesin the negative direction of theaxis, thenalong a perpendicular path to his left, and thenup a water tower. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the sign from start to end? (b) The sign then falls to the foot of the tower. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the sign from start to this new end?
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6 km , but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8 km at north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction must he now travel to reach base camp?
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?
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’s net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?
