- George runs the football 40 yards downfield before he is tackled. The straight line distance between where he began the run and where he was tackled is 18 yards and makes a 25 degree angle with the right sideline. a. What was George's distance traveled in yards? b. What was George's resultant displacement in yards? PIck answer BELOW a. distance = 58yds, displacement = 18yds b. distance = 40yds, displacement = 22yds c. distance = 40 yds, displacement = 18yds d. distance = 18yds, displacement = 40ydsarrow_forwardComponent Method: With your calculator, determine the x and y components of F1 and F2. Remember that Fx = Fcos θ and Fy = F sin θ. Find the x and y components of the resultant from the sum of x and y components. Draw a right triangle with x and y components as sides, and the hypotenuse representing the resultant. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant from the square root of (Rx2 + Ry2). Calculate the direction of the resultant by using θ R = tan-1 (Ry/Rx).arrow_forwarda bug starts at the center of a 12 inch phonograph record and crawls along a straight radial line to the edge.

- Bruce begins 7 kilometers to the north of town and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3km west of town. It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.arrow_forwardThe magnitude V1 is 6.2 and it points along the negative x axis, while the magnitude V2 is 8.0 and it points at 40 degrees counter clockwise from the positive x axis.
