Dr. Cutaro wants to see his physicist friend Dr. Washu. The house of Dr. Washu is located at the side of a street perpendicular to the street where (at the side of this street) Dr. Cutaro's house is located. Dr. Cutaro then drives 300 m towards north through his car to reach the crossing of the mentioned streets. He then drives 400 m towards east to finally reach Dr. Washu's house. It is unfortunate that Dr. Washu is not in his house. According to his wife, Dr. Washu is at Dr. Ritsuko's house located at the side of the same street as that of Dr. Washu's house. Dr. Cutaro then drives east until he reached Dr. Ritsuko's house. If the total displacement magnitude of Dr. Cutaro from his house is 700 m, how far is Dr. Ritsuko's house from that of Dr. Washu? Assume that the two houses are located at the same side of the street.

Question

Dr. Cutaro wants to see his physicist friend Dr. Washu. The house of Dr. Washu is located at the side
of a street perpendicular to the street where (at the side of this street) Dr. Cutaro's house is located.
Dr. Cutaro then drives 300 m towards north through his car to reach the crossing of the mentioned
streets. He then drives 400 m towards east to finally reach Dr. Washu's house. It is unfortunate that
Dr. Washu is not in his house. According to his wife, Dr. Washu is at Dr. Ritsuko's house located at
the side of the same street as that of Dr. Washu's house. Dr. Cutaro then drives east until he reached
Dr. Ritsuko's house. If the total displacement magnitude of Dr. Cutaro from his house is 700 m, how
far is Dr. Ritsuko's house from that of Dr. Washu? Assume that the two houses are located at the
same side of the street.

A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction).

The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown.

It strikes the ground 90.0 m from the base of the cliff. a) At what speed was it thrown? b) How long did it take to hit the ground. c) Neglecting wind resistance, which component of velocity is affected by gravity VERTICAL or HORIZONTAL? d) Sketch the trajectory of the rock as it falls to the ground and include the velocity vector at the beginning, midway down, and just before striking the ground. e) After you determine the total time in the air, you can then determine the final vertical velocity vector combined with the horizontal velocity determined earlier. Use these vectors to determine the resultant velocity vector just before landing. Recall using Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the velocity vector and trigonometry for the angle below the horizontal that the resultant vector strikes at.
