II You go to an amusement park with your friend Betty, who wants to ride the 30 -m-diameter Ferris wheel. She starts the ride at the lowest point of a wheel that, as you face it, rotates counter clockwise. What is her displacement vector when the wheel has rotated by an angle of ? Give your answer as a magnitude and direction.
Kami is walking through the airport with her two-wheeled
suitcase. The suitcase handle is tilted 40° from vertical, and
Kami pulls parallel to the handle with a force of 120 N. (Force is
measured in newtons, abbreviated N.) What are the horizontal and
vertical components of her applied force?
