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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) displacement of the penny from start to its landing point is1300mi^+2200mj^=-410mk^

b) magnitude of displacement for the return trip is2.56103m/s

Step by step solution

01

To understand the concept of the problem

Using the vector algebra and simple mathematical operations, the unknown quantities can be found. Here the vector addition is to be used to find the magnitude of vector.

In this problem, the displacement vector d鈬赌can ne written as,

d=xi^+yj^+zk^i

With magnitude,

d=x2+y2+z2ii

Given are,

role="math" localid="1656308404966" x=1300my=2200mz=410m

02

To find the displacement of the penny from start to its landing point

Substituting the values of x, y, and z, in equation (i) the displacement from start to landing point is given by,

d=1300mi^+2200mj^+-410mk^

03

To find the magnitude of the displacement for the return trip

In this case the final position and the initial position of the man is same. Thus, the net displacement is zero. Therefore, the vector d^'for the return trip which can be written as,

d'=-1300mi^+-2200mj^

Thus the magnitude ofis given by,

d,=-1300m2+-2200m2d'=2.56103m/s

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?
