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

The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to

another planet is to use a Hohmann transfer orbit(Fig. P13.79). If the orbits of

the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit

is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of

the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the departure planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches

the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft

into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from

earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at

Mars: in the direction of motion or opposite the direction of motion? What

about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one-way trip

from the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach

Mars from the earth, the launch must be timed so that Mars will be at the right

spot when the spacecraft reaches Mars’s orbit around the sun. At launch, what

must the angle between a sun–Mars line and a sun–earth line be? Use

Appendix F.

Consider a spacecraft in an elliptical orbit around the earth. At the low point, or perigee, of its orbit, it is 400 km above the earth’s surface; at the high point, or apogee, it is 4000 km above the earth’s surface. (a) What is the period of the spacecraft’s orbit? (b) Using conservation of angular momentum, find the ratio of the spacecraft’s speed at perigee to its speed at apogee. (c) Using conservation of energy, find the speed at perigee and the speed at apogee. (d) It is necessary to have the spacecraft escape from the earth completely. If the spacecraft’s rockets are fired at perigee, by how much would the speed have to be increased to achieve this? What if the rockets were fired at apogee? Which point in the orbit is more efficient to use?.

How many times does a human heart beat during a person’s lifetime? How many gallons of blood does it pump? (Estimate that the heart pumps 50 cm3 of blood with each beat.)

A car travels in the +x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 4.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of the car is Vav-x=6.25m/s. How far does the car travel in 4.00 s?

The acceleration of a particle is given by ax(t)=−2.00 m/s2+(3.00 m/s3)t. (a) Find the initial velocityv0xsuch that the particle will have the same x-coordinate att=4.00 sas it had att=0. (b) What will be the velocity att=4.00 s?
