- A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)arrow_forwardTwo position vectors each start at the origin. The first has a magnitude of 40.5 cm, and is at an angle of 15.0° as measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. The second has a magnitude of 23.0 cm and an angle of 68.0°, also counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

When the ball is 36.9° past the lowest point on its way up, its resultant acceleration is a = (-22.5i + 20.2j) m/s2 , where i is the unit vector along the horizontal direction (you can treat it as pointing to the right), and j is the unit vector along the vertical direction (you can treat it as pointing upward). For that instant, (i) determine the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration in m/s2 (ii) determine the speed of the ball in in m/s (iii) determine the velocity of the ball in m/s, i and j.arrow_forward
- 1. You are to program a robotic arm on an assembly line to move in the xy-plane. Its first displacement is A; its second displacement is B, of magnitude 10.00 cm and direction 74.2 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the -y-axis. The resultant C = A + B of the two displacement s should also have a magnitude of 10.00 cm, but a direction 41.6 deg measured in the sense from the +x-axis toward the +y-axis.
