DIRECTION: Solve this problem by using the
components of vectors. (Show your complete solution)
A disoriented physics professor drives 3.25 km north,
then 2.20 km west, and then 1.50 km south. Find the
magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement,
using the method of components. In a vector-addition
diagram (roughly to scale), show that the resultant
displacement found from your diagram is in
qualitative agreement with the result you obtained by
using the method of components.
A car travels around a horizontal circular track, not at a constant speed. The acceleration vectors at five different points are shown in bottom figure. The four non-zero vectors have equal length and (a) is tangent to the circle.
Rank the speed of the car at the points shown. Put a greater than symbol between letters if one is greater than the other, put an equal sign between them if they are equal. Put a space or comma between all characters. Example: d = c > a > e > b
The figure shows three paths taken along the horizontal axis. Each path begins at the circular dot beneath the letter denoting the path's name and ends at the very tip of the arrow. In your calculations, round to the nearest integer.
A. What is the distance traveled, in meters, for path C?
B. What is the magnitude of the displacement from start to finish, in meters, for path C?
