Get started for freeA protester carries his sign of protest, starting from the origin of ancoordinate system, with theplane horizontal. He movesin the negative direction of theaxis, thenalong a perpendicular path to his left, and thenup a water tower. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the sign from start to end? (b) The sign then falls to the foot of the tower. What is the magnitude of the displacement of the sign from start to this new end?
Vector lies in the yz plane from the positive direction of the y axis, has a positive z component, and has magnitude 3.20units. Vector lies in xz the plane 48.0from the positive direction of the x axis, has a positive z component, and has magnitudeunits. Find (a)role="math" localid="1661144136421" , (b), and (c) the angle betweenand.
A room has dimensions . A fly starting at one corner flies around, ending up at the diagonally opposite corner. (a) What is the magnitude of its displacement? (b) Could the length of its path be less than this magnitude? (c) Greater? (d) Equal? (e) Choose a suitable coordinate system and express the components of the displacement vector in that system in unit-vector notation. (f) If the fly walks, what is the length of the shortest path? (Hint: This can be answered without calculus. The room is like a box. Unfold its walls to flatten them into a plane.)
In the sum vector has a magnitude of 12.0 m and is angled counterclockwise from the +x direction, and vector has a magnitude of 15.0 m and is angled counterclockwise from the -x direction. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (relative to +x ) of ?
