Question

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 192 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 33.00
above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 42.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion
of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four
significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
magnitude
The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector which goes from the starting point to the
ending point. You will need to measure this distance, and multiply by your scale factor. ft
direction
° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

George runs the football 40 yards downfield before he is tackled. The straight line distance between where he began the run and where he was tackled is 18 yards and makes a 25 degree angle with the right sideline. a. What was George's distance traveled in yards? b. What was George's resultant displacement in yards? PIck answer BELOW a. distance = 58yds, displacement = 18yds b. distance = 40yds, displacement = 22yds c. distance = 40 yds, displacement = 18yds d. distance = 18yds, displacement = 40yds
CHECKING YOUR UNDERSTANDING Consider the diagram below. Nine unique, labeled locations are provided on a grid. Each square on the grid represents a 20-meter x 20-meter area. Rightward on the grid is in the eastward direction and upward on the grid in the northward direction. Use the grid in answering the next few questions, Suppose that a person starts at position A and walks to position E and then to position G. Fill in the table below to indicate the east-west and the north-south components of the individual legs of the walk and the components of the resulting displacement. Make the measurements off the grid. Finally, use the Pythagorean theorem and SOH CAH TOA to determine the magnitude and the direction of the resulting displacement.
