Transcribed Image Text:An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 4.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a
constant acceleration of 0.300 m/s². If the wind's acceleration lasts for 3.40 s, find the magnitude r and direction 0
(measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction) of the bird's displacement over this time interval. Assume that the
bird is originally travelling in the +x direction and that there are 1609 m in 1 mi.
r =

Transcribed Image Text:Now, assume the same bird is moving along again at 4.00 mph in an easterly direction, but this time, the acceleration given
by the wind is at a o = 47.0° angle to the original direction of motion, measured counterclockwise from the easterly
direction. If the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.400 m/s², find the displacement vector r and the angle of the
displacement 01.
Enter the components of the vector, rx and ry, and the angle. Assume the time interval is still 3.40 s.
