You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (-140 m,30 m . The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters:(20 and 60) , then , then (-20 ) , then (-60 and -70) . What are (a) component and (b) component ? What are (c) the magnitude and (d) the angle (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the overall displacement?
In a meeting of mimes, mime 1 goes through a displacementand mime 2 goes through a displacement. What are (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) the component ofalong the direction of? (Hint: For (d), see Eq.3-20and fig3-18.)
A fire ant, searching for hot sauce in a picnic area, goes through three displacements along level ground: for 0.40 msouthwest (that is, at from directly south and from directly west),for 0.50 mdue east,for 0.60 matnorth of east. Let the positive x direction be east and the positive y direction be north. What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of? Next, what are (c) the x component and (d) the y component of? Also, what are (e) the x component and (f) the y component of?
What are (g) the x component, (h) the y component, (i) the magnitude, and (j) the direction of the ant’s net displacement? If the ant is to return directly to the starting point, (k) how far and (l) in what direction should it move?
A woman walksin the directioneast of north, thendirectly east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle of her final displacement from the starting point. (c) Find the distance she walks. (d) Which is greater, that distance or the magnitude of her displacement?
