Concept explainers
Each of the following five trips takes one hour. The positive x-direction is to the east. (i) Automobile A travels 50 km due east. (ii) Automobile B travels 50 km due west. (iii) Automobile C travels 60 km due east, then turns around and travels 10 km due west. (iv) Automobile D travels 70 km due east. (v) Automobile E travels 20 km due west, then turns around and travels 20 km due east. (a) Rank the five trips in order of average x-velocity from most positive to most negative. (b) Which trips, if any, have the same average x-velocity? (c) For which trip, if any, is the average x-velocity equal to zero?

- The magnitudes of two vectors A and B are 12 units and 8 units, respectively. What are the largest and smallest possible values for the magnitude of the resultant vector R = A + B? (a) 14.4 and 4 (b) 12 and 8 (c) 20 and 4 (d) none of these.arrow_forwardWhat is the y component of the vector (3i8k) m/s? (a) 3 m/s (b) 8 m/s (c) 0 (d) 8 m/s (e) none of those answersarrow_forwardA motorist drives south at 20.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 25.0 m/s for 2.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 30.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.00-min trip, find (a) the total vector displacement, (b) the average speed, and (c) the average velocity. Let the positive x axis point east.arrow_forward
- I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?arrow_forwardA scout troop is practicing its orienteering skills with map and compass. First they walk due east for 1.20 km. Next, they walk 45.0° west of north for 2.70 km. In what direction must they walk to go directly back to their starting point? Enter the angle in degrees where positive indicates east of south and negative indicates west of south.arrow_forwardAn airplane begins its journey into Canada from a destination located 285 mi south of the border. The plane flies along a straight-line path at 189 mi/h in a direction of 20.5 degrees west of north. Determine the number of minutes before the plane crosses the border. Assume that the border is aligned directly east and west in the region where the flight takes place.arrow_forward
- An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.arrow_forwardA runaway dog walks 0.64 km due north. He then runs due west to a hot dog stand. If the magnitude of the dog's total displacement vector is 0.91 km, what is the magnitude of the dog's displacement vector in the due west direction? (A) 0.33 km в) 0.27 km 0.65 km D 0.52 kmarrow_forwardA plane flies 479 km east from city A to city B in 45.0 min and then 950 km south from city B to city C in 1.10 h. For the total trip, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the plane's displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity, and (e) its average speed? Give your angles as positive or negative values of magnitude less than 180 degrees, measured from the +x direction (east).arrow_forward
- what is the answer?arrow_forwardA truck travels due east for a distance of 2.0 km, turns around and goes due west for 9.0 km, and finally turns around again and travels 2.6 km due east.(a) What is the total distance (in km) that the truck travels? (Enter a number.) (b) What are the magnitude (in km) and direction of the truck's displacement? (Enter a number.)arrow_forwardA motorist drives south at 28.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 25.0 m/s for 2.60 min, and finally travels northwest at 30.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.60 min trip, find the following values.Let the positive x axis point east.(a) total vector displacement in meter (magnitude) and degrees south of west.(b) average speed in m/s(c) average velocity in m/s (magnitude) and degrees south of westarrow_forward
