Two vectors are given by A = 4.00 i + 7.00 j and B = 5.00 i – 3.00 j. What is the resultant displacement vector C= A + B as a magnitude and direction? Group of answer choices 11.6 @ 97.2º 9.85 @ 24.0º 6.96 @ 12.8º 8.06 @ 336º 19.3 @ 32.1º 7.84 @ 352º
A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims d1 = 74.3 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for d2 = 183.7 m, then follows a big grouper (a kind of fish) for d3 = 73.3 m in the direction θ = 43.9° north of east. Finally, she swims d4 = 193.4 m south.What is the straight-line distance between her initial and final positions in m?

A quarterback throws a football while standing at the very center of the field on the 50 yard line. The ball leaves his hand at a height of 5 ft and has initial velocity vo = 51i +37j + 27k ft/s. Assume an acceleration of 32 ft/s² due to gravity and that the i vector points down the field toward the endzone and the j vector points to the sideline. The field is 150 ft in width and 300 ft in length. Determine the position function that gives the position of the ball t seconds after it is thrown. The ball is caught by a player 5 ft above the ground. Assume the player is standing vertically with both toes on the ground at the time of reception. (Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.) r(t): =
