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. Find the magnitude and direction of the third displacement Maximum file size: 5GB, maximum number of files: 1 Files You can drag and drop files here to add them.
