An object moves in an x-y plane generating three displacements (50.0 m, 60.0° west of north; 20.0 m, 30.0° east of north; 10.0 m east). a) Draw vector A in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector A in Cartesian form. b) Draw vector B in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component.

Express vector C in Cartesian form. d) Determine the resulting vector Cartesian Reform. In addition, determine its magnitude and its angle. Note: As can be seen in the diagram, the resulting vector is in the first quadrant, so the signs of its components and its angle have to be those corresponding to a vector in the first guadrant. wwwM wmww o w y (norte) 10.0 m 20.0 m <30.0° 50.0 m 60.0° (oeste) x (este)
In the next sets, you are given the magnitude and one component. There is an ambiguity in determining the vector, because you can only determine the absolute value of the other component and not its sign; therefore, there are two possibilities. In these tables, you must enter the absolute value of the component and provide two angles for the vector, the first one assuming the other component is positive and the other assuming the component is negative. You must also provide two angles for the antiparallel vector in the same order.

You are wondering how high that hawk is, surveying your back yard from a perch at the top of an oak tree toward the back property line. Remembering that you learned about vectors in physics, you measure off two components of a vector from your feet to the bird. Let "x" be parallel to the back of your house, and "y" perpendicular to the house out to the base of the tree. The vector to the bird would be (x, y, z). If x is 49 and y is 70 meters, what would z be in meters such that the angle from your feet to the bird is 45 degrees?

An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 1.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a constant acceleration of 0.500 m/s². If the wind's acceleration lasts for 2.50 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 = = Now, assume the same bird is moving along again at 1.00 mph in an easterly direction, but this time, the acceleration given by the wind is at a o = 30.0° angle to the original direction of motion, measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction. If the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.600 m/s², find the displacement vector 7 and the angle of the displacement 01. Enter the comnonents of the vector, r. and r.. and the angle. Assume the time interval is still 2.50 s.
