Question
Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20 west of
north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0º south of west.
How far are you from your starting point, and what is the
compass direction of a line connecting your starting point
to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the
walk as vector displacements A and B, as in Figure 22,
then this problem finds their sum R = A + B.)

- An object moves in an x-y plane generating three displacements (50.0 m, 60.0° west of north; 20.0 m, 30.0° east of north; 10.0 m east). a) Draw vector A in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector A in Cartesian form. b) Draw vector B in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector B in Cartesian form. c) Draw vector C in its reference frame and determine its x component and its y component. Express vector C in Cartesian form. d) Determine the resulting vector Cartesian Reform. In addition, determine its magnitude and its angle. Note: As can be seen in the diagram, the resulting vector is in the first quadrant, so the signs of its components and its angle have to be those corresponding to a vector in the first guadrant. wwwM wmww o w y (norte) 10.0 m 20.0 m <30.0° 50.0 m 60.0° (oeste) x (este)arrow_forwardGiven the vector techniques you worked on in the lab, answer the follow question: suppose you first walk 12 m in a direction 20° west of north, then 20 m in a direction 40° south of west, then 14 m in a direction 30° east of north, and finally 19 m in a direction 40° east of south.
