Chapter 3, Problem 14P
You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (−140 m, 30 m). The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters: (20 and 60), then (bx and −70), then (−20 and cy), then (−60 and −70). What are (a) component bx and (b) component cy? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the angle (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement?

A surveying team records the following displacement vectors on three days (24 hour days) of
walking, each one in succession (1, then 2, then 3) (Give 2 significant figures):
di = (7 i + 8 j)km, d, = (6 i+2 j)km, and dz = (2 i + 9 j)km.
(a): Sketch these vectors on a Cartesian plane. Hint: The vectors should all be connected
head-to-tail.
A graph of x vs. t4, with x on the vertical axis and t4 on the horizontal axis, is linear. Its slope is 51 m/s4 and its vertical-axis intercept is 8 m. Write an equation for x as a function of t.
x = (8 m )t 4 − 51 m/s 4
x = (51 m/s 4 )t 4 + 8 m
x=(51 m/s48 m)t4x=51 m/s48 mt4
x = (8 m )t 4 + 51 m/s 4

That is the gravitational acceleration near the earth's surface. if you rise high above the earth, the gravitational acceleration decreases. Specifically, the gravitational acceleration is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the earth's center. Equivalently, if you multiply the acceleration by the distance from the earth's center, you should get the same number for all heights. For this problem, take the radius of the earth as 3,902 miles, and calculate the gravitational acceleration of a satellite in low orbit, 182 miles above the surface.arrow_forward
