Question
Daniel takes his two dogs, Pauli the Pointer and Newton the Newfoundland, out to a field and lets them loose to exercise. Both dogs sprint away in different directions while Daniel stands still. From Daniel's point of view, Newton runs due north at 4.15 m/s, but from Pauli's point of view, Newton appears to be moving at 1.50 m/s due east. What is Pauli's velocity relative to Daniel, ?⃗PD?
Give your answer in unit vector notation, where north is taken to be the positive ?-direction and east is the positive ?-direction.
?⃗PD=?ı̂+?ȷ̂
?=??? m/s
?=???? m/s
Next, express your answer as a magnitude and an angle measured counterclockwise from due east.
magnitude=??? m/s
angle=??? ∘ counterclockwise from due east
