A postal employee drives a delivery truck over the route shown in Fig.below. Use the method of components to determine the magnitude and direction of her resultant displacement. In a vector-addition diagram (roughly to scale), show that the resultant displacement found from your diagram is in qualitative agreement with the result you obtained by using the method of components.

Short Answer

Expert verified

As per mentioned all three components, Resultant and its magnitude, direction is calculated accordingly

Step by step solution

01

Explaination of Diagram

As showing above fig-(measurement and angle )it is asked that the resultant displacement found from diagram.

There are three displacement figure A,B and C,assume that the y axis points to the north and x axis points to east.

02

Calculation component of A, B and C

cos45°=cx3.1Cx=3.1cos45°≈2.19sin45°=Cy3.1Cy=3.1Sin45°≈2.19

Vectors are

A=〈Ax,Ay〉=〈0,2.6〉kmB=〈Bx,By〉=〈4.0,0〉kmC=〈Cx,Cy〉=〈3.1Cos45°,3.1Sin45°〉km

03

Calculation of Resultant Vector

R = A+B+C

R =(0,2.6)+(4.0,0)+3.1Cos45,3.1Sin45)

R =(0+4.0+3.1Cos45,2.6+0+3.1Sin45)

R≈(6.19,4.79)km…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦.(1)

04

Step 4:Calculation of Magnitude of Resultant 

|R|=(6.19)2+(4.79)2km ………….from equation (1)

≈7.83km

05

Step 5:Calculation of direction

θ=tan-1(2.6+3.1Sin45)(4.0+3.1Cos45)≈tan-1(4.79)(6.19)θ≈37.7°

06

Conclusion

As per mentioned all three components, Resultant and its magnitude, direction is calculated accordingly

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher’s hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?
