Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The magnitude of Cis 1.3 units, and the direction of Cis along the +ve X-axis.

(b) The magnitude of Cis 12.3 units, and the direction of Cis along the +ve X-axis.

(c) The magnitude of Cis 12.3 units, and the direction of Cis along the 鈥搗e X-axis.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Addition of collinear vectors

The resultant of collinear vectors is given by the algebraic sum of individual vectors with signs.

02

Step 2. Given data and assumptions

Magnitude of vector A, A = 6.8 units

Magnitude of vector B, B = 5.5 units

Let the magnitude of Cbe represented by C.

03

Step 3. When C→=A→+B→

The magnitude of vector Cis given by the sum of vectors Aand B, with signs.

C=A+B=6.8i^+5.5-i^=1.3i^units

The magnitude of Cis given as follows:

C=1.3i^C=1.3units

Thus, the magnitude of Cis 1.3 units, and the direction is along the +ve X-axis (as the sign is positive).

04

Step 4. When C→=A→-B→

The magnitude of vector Cis given by the sum of vectors Aand B, with signs.

C=A-B=6.8i^-5.5-i^=12.3i^units

The magnitude of Cis given as follows:

C=12.3i^C=12.3units

Thus, the magnitude of Cis 12.3 units, and the direction is along the +ve X-axis (as the sign is positive).

05

Step 5. When C→=B→-A→

The magnitude of vector Cis given by the sum of vectors Aand B, with signs.

C=B-A=5.5-i^-6.8i^=12.3-i^units

The magnitude of Cis given as follows:

C=12.3-i^C=12.3units

Thus, the magnitude of Cis 12.3 units, and the direction is along the 鈥搗e X-axis (as the sign is negative).

Does the odometer of a car measure a scalar or a vector quantity? What about speedometer?

A stunt driver wants to make his car jump over 8 cars parked side by side below a horizontal ramp (Fig. 3鈥41). (a) With what minimum speed must he drive off the horizontal ramp? The vertical height of the ramp is 1.5 m above the cars and the horizontal distance he must clear is 22 m. (b) If the ramp is now tilted upward, so that 鈥渢akeoff angle鈥 is 7.0掳 above the horizontal, what is the new minimum speed?

FIGURE 3-41Problem 37

A child, who is 45 m from the bank of a river, is being carried helplessly downstream by the river鈥檚 swift current of 1.0 m/s. As the child passes a lifeguard on the river鈥檚 bank, the lifeguard starts swimming in a straight line (Fig. 3-46) until she reaches the child at a point downstream. If the lifeguard can swim at a speed of 2.0 m/s relative to the water, how long does it take her to reach the child? How far downstream does the lifeguard intercept the child?

A passenger on a boat moving at 1.70 m/s on a still lake walks up a flight of stairs at a speed of 0.60 m/s (Fig. 3鈥43). The stairs are angled at 45掳, pointing in the direction of motion as shown. What is the velocity of the passenger relative to the water?

FIGURE 3-43 Problem 42

A car moving at 95 km/h passes a 1.00-km-long train traveling in the same direction on a track that is parallel to the road. If the speed of the train is 75 km/h, how long does it take the car to pass the train, and how far will the car have travelled in this time? What are the results if the car and train are instead traveling in opposite directions?
