One kind of slingshot consists of a pocket that holds a peBble at the angle 0 so that it will hit the target. The angle o in the drawing is 40.0°. The distance to the target from the center of the circle is d. (See the drawing below, which is not to scale.) The circular path is parallel to the ground, and the target lies in the plane of the circle. The distance d is four times the radius r. Ignore the effect of gravity in pulling the stone downward after it is released and find the angle

We have two vectors A=(6.0, 9.6) and B=(-8.6, 4.4). What angle does the sum of these vectors make with the x-axis in degrees?
I do not know how to get started with my graph. Does my x axis need to be between 7.84 or 15.68 and my y axis between 0.779 or 1.558. If so how should I start my graph and how much should I go up by with both x and y axis's. Please help! I am confused.
Cartesian coordinates are also called rectangular coordinates. true or false?
Two vectors have the following magnitude, A = 8.3 m and B = 9.9 m. Their vector product is: A⨯B = -2.7 m i + 5.3 m k. What is the angle (in degrees) between the vectors A and B? Hint: Use |A⨯B| = AB sin(θ) Note: Bold face letters represents a vector.
Find the unit tangent vector to the curve at the specified value of the parameter. r(t) = t³i+5t²j, t = 4 T(4) = 8
Answer must be in standard form scientific notation with SI units that do not have prefixes ( except for kg.) all angles and directions must be calculated to the nearest 0.1 deg. (Tenth of a degree) and entered in standard form scientific notation.
Two position vectors each start at the origin. The first has a magnitude of 40.5 cm, and is at an angle of 15.0° as measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis. The second has a magnitude of 23.0 cm and an angle of 68.0°, also counterclockwise from the +x-axis. (a) What is the area of the parallelogram (in cm2) that has the two vectors as two of its sides? cm2 (b) What is the length of the longer diagonal of this parallelogram (in cm)? cm
Find a unit vector perpendicular to A = (î+ ĵ – Îk) and B = ( 2i + j- 3k). (Hints. One method to find the unit vector C perpendicular to A and B will be to use the fact that the cross product is perpendicular to both vectors A and B, but keep in mind that the magnitude of the unit vector is one. There is another method which is a little bit longer by using the fact that the dot product AC=0 and BC=0 where C is the unit vector )

A fox leaves its den and travels 575 yeards west, then 475 yards northwest. In what direction must the fox travel to head directly back to its den? Round your answer to the nearest hundreth. Enter N for North, E for East, W for West, and S for South.
A ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet and its center is 80 feet above the ground. You ride the wheel once around and get off. (a) Find a function that expresses your height in terms of the angle of rotation of the wheel since you boarded. Be sure to give the function a name and define its input and output (with units) in complete sentences. Include the function's domain. Explain your reasoning clearly. (b) When you are 108 feet above the ground for the second time, the wheel comes to a stop. It then turns through a small angle and stops again. Ap- prorimate the change in your height in terms of this small angle of rotation. Be sure to define these changes precisely and to erplain your logic. (c) Suppose the wheel turned through an angle of 2° as described in part (b). Use your result of part (b) to approximate the change in your height. Include units at each step and for each number in the computation. Craft your response to this question in the form of a letter to a friend.…
