A man pushing a mop across a floor causes it to undergo two displacements. The first has a magnitude of positive x axis. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of R = 138 cm and is directed at an angle of direction of the second displacement. Step 1 The diagram suggests that d, is larger than either of the other vectors and is in a fourth-quadrant direction. 2 d₁ Then d₂ = R-d₁ 1 Substituting, d 2 y Step 2 We will use the component method for a precise answer. We already know the resultant displacement, so the algebra of solving a vector equation will guide us to do a subtraction. Step 3 The resultant displacement of the mop is R = ď₁ + 1 2 = = 19₂ R (138 138 cm at 33.0°) - 157 Step 4 The meaning of the negative sign reverses the direction of the second vector so we can rewrite the previous equation as (138 cm at 33.0°) + (157 cm at 33 X The response you submitted has the wrong sign.º), which, in components, is d₂ = [138 cos 33 + 138 sin 125 Your response..differs from the correct…
A plane flies in two straight-line segments. On the first segment it flies 250 km at an angle of 30 south of west. Then it flies 125 km at an angle of 20 east of south on the second segment. Find the magnitude and direction of the resulting (overall) displacement of the plane by graphically drawing the displacement vectors and by calculating the resultant using components
Lab 4: Vectors nitude of 8.4 km and points 2. Components of vectors. The vector in this problem is a velocity vector which starts at the origin, has a magnitude of 11 m/s and has a direction of 135 degrees (measured counter clockwise from the +x axis). a. Using the gridlines below (0.5 cm spacing), draw the vector. This time, choose your own scale factor. Record your scale factor below. Make sure your scale factor is large enough so that your vector takes up most of the space in the diagram. Use a protractor and ruler to make sure your vector has the correct magnitude and direction. b. Draw a dotted line from the tip of the vector to the x axis. Using a ruler, measure the the x component in cm, and use the scale factor to convert to m/s. boltol c. Draw a dotted line from the tip of the vector to the y axis. Using a ruler, measure the the y component, and use the scale factor to convert to m/s. 5
You first walk 10 meters at an angle of 30 degrees East of North. Then,you walk 15 meters at an angle of 45 degrees South of East. Assume that East is +x and North is+y, and assume you started at the origin (0,0). A. Make a graph with x- and y-axes and draw your path on that graph (to scale, or at least asclose as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin, and the second vector at the tip ofthe first vector. Then, draw the resultant vector (their sum). B. Break each part of the walk into their x- and y-components and then sum them to get thex- and y-components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units and unit vectors. C. What is your displacement from where you originally started? D. If the whole walk took 40 seconds, then what was your average velocity

HELP FILLING IN BLANKS IN THE PROCEDURE. Procedure 4: Adding Vectors Graphically If you use a ruler and a protractor to draw a series of vectors to scale, the resultant will run from the beginning of the first vector to the end of the last vector. In the picture below, measure the lengths and angles of vectors A, B and C and record these in the 2nd and 3rd columns on the datasheet. Remember to measure angles CCW from the positive x axis. Using cos and sin, calculate the x and y components of vectors A, B and C and record these in the last two columns on the datasheet. Add the x components in the next-to-last column and the y-components in the last column Use Pythagorean Theorem and ArcTan to calculate the magnitude and direction of R Measure the length and angle of vector R Confirm that these two measurements of R match "Fixing the angle" After you do the "four step method" to add vectors, you sometimes have to "fix the angle".
