You first walk 10 meters at an angle of 30 degrees East of North. Then,you walk 15 meters at an angle of 45 degrees South of East. Assume that East is +x and North is+y, and assume you started at the origin (0,0). A. Make a graph with x- and y-axes and draw your path on that graph (to scale, or at least asclose as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin, and the second vector at the tip ofthe first vector. Then, draw the resultant vector (their sum). B. Break each part of the walk into their x- and y-components and then sum them to get thex- and y-components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units and unit vectors. C. What is your displacement from where you originally started? D. If the whole walk took 40 seconds, then what was your average velocity

1. Draw a diagram for the vectors and answer the question.A. From the same starting point, vector x is moving northeast while vector y is moving southward. Determine the direction/position of vector y with respect to vector x. B. Vector A is moving from the east while Vector B is moving southeast. At certain time t, the two vectors are bound to meet (in a 2d graph, B is above A and is approaching A). What is the position of B relative to A.

Use the data below to answer the scaffold questions. t=1.0 s d=1.0 m o Distance traveled by the object sliding down the incline is 1.0 m o Time of travel is 1.0 s o Initial velocity is 0.0 m/s Kinematic equations: o Use d =(v + v, )t to solve for final velocity at the bottom of the incline. o Use v,? = v,2 + 2ad to solve for the acceleration of the object down the incline. Scaffold questions: How can you derive a mathematical model for the motion of the object down the incline? Assuming acceleration is constant and that the object is moving along one axis, set up the acceleration vector from the acceleration you calculated in the previous step. I. Example: If your calculated acceleration a is 1.2 m/s?, then the acceleration vector is ā = 1.2 î m/s2
