An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 182 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 340 above the hortzontal. It then moves 137 at an angle af 43,0 below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axls, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer in ft, to at least four significant ques and give the direction of your answer in degrees courterclockwise from the +x-axis) ft magnitude direction counterclockwise from the axis

QUESTION 1 Supply all missing information with the correct numerical values. Do not include the units. Round off all answers to two decimal places. Do not forget the negative sign (-) if needed. A cannon ball is fired with an initial speed of 123 m/s at angle of 60 degrees from the horizontal. Express the initial velocity as a linear combination of its unit vector components. Vo = ( m/s) i +( m/s) At the maximum height, the speed of the cannon ball is v = m/s and the magnitude of its acceleration is a = m/s2 The time needed to reach maximum height is t= The maximum height reached by the cannon ball is H = m.
