Concept explainers
On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa: then to St Joseph. Missouri; and then to Manhattan, Kansas (Figure 1.32). The directions are shown relative to north: 0° is north. 90° is east 180° is south and 270° is west. Use the method of components to find (a) the distance she has to fry from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln, and (b) the direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there. Illustrate your solutions with a vector diagram.

- A skater glides along a circular path of radius 5.00 m in clockwise direction. ‘When he coasts around one- half of the circle, starting from the west point, find (a) the magnitude of his displacement vector and (b) how far he actually skated. (c) What is the magnitude of his displacement vector when he skates all the way around the circle and comes back to the west point?arrow_forwardA delivery man starts at the post office, chives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to stop for lunch. Use a graphical method to find his net displacement vector.arrow_forwardFind the horizontal and vertical components of the 100-m displacement of a superhero who flies from the top of a tall building following the path shown in Figure P1.40.

- Suppose you walk 12.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 20.5 m in a direction exactly 42° west of north. How far are you from your starting point, in meters? What is the angle of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured North of West in degrees?arrow_forwardA person walks 8 km due east, then 6 [km] due south, and finally 10 [km] due north-west (135 degree from east). Find the how far he is from the starting point. Answer to first decimal place, in [km].arrow_forwardhe map below shows that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas, and that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. Assuming the Earth may be approximated as flat across this map, what is the displacement from Dallas to Chicago? Find its magnitude (in mi) and direction (in degrees) as measured counterclockwise from due east of Dallas. A map shows a part of the United States that contains Dallas, Atlanta, and Chicago. Dallas is at the bottom left of the map and a vector labeled "730 mi"points eastwards from Dallas to Atlanta at an angle of 5.00° counterclockwise from due east. Atlanta is at the bottom right of the map and a vector labeled "560 mi" points northwards from Atlanta to Chicago at an angle of 21.0°counterclockwise from due north. Chicago is at the top of the map, horizontally between Dallas and Atlanta. magnitude midirection ° counterclockwise from due east of Dallasarrow_forward
- For pilots a flight direction (heading) is indicated by an angle associated with the compass rose (circle) where North is 000, East is 090, South is 180, West is 270 and North is also 360. A student pilot takes off from Lincoln Nebraska and flies 147 km on a heading of 085 to Clarinda Iowa. Then she flies from Clarinda to St. Joseph Missouri 106 km on a heading of 167. Finally, she flies from St. Joseph to Manhattan Kansas 166km on a heading of 235. She thinks Kansas is boring, so how far and with what heading must she fly to return to Lincoln?arrow_forwardI need help on this problem: You are one block away from a skyscraper that is 780 feet tall. Your friend is between the skyscraper and yourself. The angle of elevation from your position to the top of the skyscraper is 42 degrees. The angle of elevation from your friend's position to the top of the skyscraper is 71 degrees. How far are you from your friend? Express your answer using the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardhe map below shows that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas, and that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta.
