63. ssm A circus performer begins his act by walking out along a nearly horizontal high wire. He slips and falls to the safety net, 25.0 ft below. The magnitude of his displacement from the beginning of the walk to the net is 26.7 ft. (a) How far out along the high wire did he walk? (b) Find the angle that his displacement vector makes below the horizontal.

A physics student adds two displacement vectors with magnitudes of 8.0 km and 6.0 km. Which one of the following statements is true concerning the magnitude of the resultant displacement? It could be equal to zero kilometers, depending how the vectors are oriented. No conclusion can be reached without knowing the directions of the vectors. It could have any value between 2.0 km and 14.0 km depending on how the vectors are oriented. It must be 10.0 km. It must be 14.0 km.

At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 9.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 60.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 60.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?
An old lady, to maintain her health during morning walk, covers three displacements. The first has a magnitude of 200 m and makes an angle of 110° with the positive x axis. She covers second displacement which has magnitude of 300 m at an angle of 20° west of south and then she covees third displacement. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 420 m and is directed at an angle of 45.0° to the positive x axis.

A jogger travels a route that has two parts. The first is a displacement A of 2.65 km due south, and the second involves a displacement → B that points due east.

Suppose that A - B had a magnitude of 4.75 km. (c) What then would be the magnitude of B, and (d) what is the direction of A - B relative to due south?

In a game of lawn chess, where pieces are moved between the centers of squares that are each 1.00 m on edge, a knight is moved in the following way: (1) two squares forward, one square rightward; (2) two squares leftward, one square forward; (3) two squares forward, one square leftward.What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to “forward”) of the knight’s overall displacement for the series of three moves?
Vectors A treasure map shows a path from the hanging tree to walk to find the buried treasure. It reads to start at the hanging tree and north 7.5 meters. The map then says to turn and walk 9.8 meters at 30 degrees north of east, then walk south 1.4 meters, and finally walk west 38.0 meters. Once at this position, the map says to turn east and walk 14.0 more meters, then turn north and walk 12.0 more meters, and finally to turn due west and walk 6.0 meters. There you will find the treasure!(a) Being a physicist, you want to get rid of all the steps and walk right to the treasure. What is the magnitude of the displacement you would walk if you walked directly to the treasure alongthe line of the resultant?
