Consider the change in velocity vector between two points on the velocity diagram that are not consecutive. e.g., points 1 and 4.
Is the direction of the change in velocity vector different than it was for consecutive Points? Explain.
Is the length of the change in velocity vector different than it was tor consecutive points? If so, how many times larger or smaller is it than the corresponding vector for consecutive points? Explain.

- A dog is so excited that they run from their pet bed 2m 25 degrees N of W to your bed, they then stop and turn around to run 4 m due S to where you are standing, they then run 0.4m 60 degrees N of E, only to finally run another 4m at a 45 degree angle S of E. Find the resultant vector that describes how far from the initial position your pet winds up by following the steps below: a. Draw your vector diagram, labeling each vector and the resultant vector. b. Separately draw each of the four vectors that will be added and find and box-in the x and y components (with appropriate signs) of each of the four vectors. c. Use your previous work to find the resultant displacement vector and write the answer in unit vector notation.arrow_forwardis Vectors are represented by arrows. The length of the arrows indicate the magnitude of the vector, and the arrowhead points to the direction of the vector. In our example, the displacement is drawn at a scale: 1 cm = 10 cm, directed to the east. ne EXERCISES 1.

Determine the total displacement from the starting point. 2. I walked 1 km N, 2 km E, 3 km S, and then 4 km W. What is the total distance I traveled? What is my total displacement? The speed of an object is a measure of how fast it moves. If the object is moving from on position to another in a measured time, its average speed v is obtained by dividing the distan traveled by the time taken to cover the distance.

Assume that East is +x and North is+y, and assume you started at the origin (0,0). A. Make a graph with x- and y-axes and draw your path on that graph (to scale, or at least asclose as you can get). Start the first vector at the origin, and the second vector at the tip ofthe first vector. Then, draw the resultant vector (their sum). B. Break each part of the walk into their x- and y-components and then sum them to get thex- and y-components of the resultant vector. Make sure to include units and unit vectors. C.
