- A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)arrow_forwardA delivery man starts at the post office, drives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to stop for lunch. Use the analytical method to determine the following: (a) Find his net displacement vector. (b) How far is the restaurant from the post office? (c) If he returns directly from the restaurant to the post office, what is his displacement vector on the return trip? (d) What Is his compass heading on the return trip? Assume the +x-axis is to the east.arrow_forwardIn an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?arrow_forward
- Carolyn rides her bike 40.0 south of west for 5.40 miles as illustrated in Figure P3.25. What is the distance she would have to ride due south and due west to reach the same location?arrow_forwardTwo birds begin next to each other and then fly through the air at the same elevation above level ground at 22.5 m/s. One flies northeast, and the other flies northwest. After flying for 10.5 s, what is the distance between them? Ignore the curvature of the Earth.arrow_forwardIn an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.arrow_forward
- sally leaves her home and walks 450. m to the east and then turns and walks 600.0 m to the north. she then sees an ice cream store that is 150. m 20 degrees NW. what is her displacement from the ice cream store to home? don't forget displacement needs magnitude and direction (angle).arrow_forwardIf a poodle is roaming in the direction N 38 degrees E at a speed of 2 mph . What is the poodle's velocity as a vector in i,j notation?arrow_forwardA sailboat race course consists of four legs, defined by the displacement vectors A, B, C, and D. The first three vectors are A=3.2 km, 400 NE, B=5.10 km, 350 NW, and C=4.80 km, 230SW. The finish line coincides with the starting line. Find the displacement, magnitude and direction, of the fourth leg using graphical methodarrow_forward
- There are two vectors, and B ,represented by arrows A and B respectively. Arrow A points west and has a magnitude of 40 units. Arrow B is twice as long as arrow A and is directed at 180° with respect to A. What is the magnitude and direction of B ? O 1600 units, to the east O 80 units, to the west O 80 units, to the east O 42 units, to the west Save for Later Submit Answer prfarrow_forwardFrom your house,you walk 5.00 m,40° north of east,3.00 m easy.2.20 m,30° south of west. 3.50 m,south to go to the supermarket.Plot the vectors in the cartesia Planearrow_forwardDaily Commissions. Ganyu used her charged attack to shoot an arrow hitting a hilichurl tower a certain distance away from her. Assuming there is no air resistance and the arrow hits the tower at the same height as the launch point, if the tower is 50.0 [m] away from Ganyu and the arrow has an initial velocity of 24.0 [m/s], at what angle did Ganyu launch the arrow? O 0.509° O 1.02° O 29.2° O 58.4°arrow_forward
