- Could I have help with this physics questionarrow_forwardVector G is 40.3 m long in a -35.0° direction. Vector H is 63.3 m long in a 270° direction. Find the magnitude of their vector sum. magnitude (m) Enterarrow_forwardThe route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A,B ,c Cand . Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 10.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A+ B+ C = 0. Find the magnitudes of vector B and vector C .arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardSuppose a person walks so that their displacement is represented by a vector that has a magnitude of 52m (vector A). The direction of that initial displacement is 31 degrees north of east. After that, the person then walks 15 m due west (vector B). Use trig to calculate the east and north components of the first displacement, vector A.arrow_forwardIn the next sets, you are given the magnitude and one component. There is an ambiguity in determining the vector, because you can only determine the absolute value of the other component and not its sign; therefore, there are two possibilities. In these tables, you must enter the absolute value of the component and provide two angles for the vector, the first one assuming the other component is positive and the other assuming the component is negative. You must also provide two angles for the antiparallel vector in the same order.

- Vector R has a magnitude of 10 m. Its z component is 8 m. What are the possible values for its y component? Express your answer in meters. If there is more than one answer, separate them by a comma.arrow_forwardCan someone please help me understand this question and how to get the answer? Two displacement vectors have magnitudes of 5.0 m and 7.0 m, respectively. If these two vectors are added together, the magnitude of the sum is: 1.) equal to 8.6m 2.) could be as small as 2.0m or as large as 12.0m 3.)is equal to 2m 4. or is equal to 12m. Thank you.

Assume north be along the positive y axis and west be along the negative x axis. What is the magnitude of her total displacement? In what direction is the displacement vector? Enter the answer as an angle north of west.arrow_forward
