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?
A vector, with a magnitude of, is added to a vector , which lies along an x axis. The sum of these two vectors is a third vector that lies along the y axis and has a magnitude that is twice the magnitude of. What is the magnitude of ?
Consider two displacements, one of magnitudeand another of magnitude. Show how the displacement vectors may be combined to get a resultant displacement of magnitude (a), (b), and (c).
A man goes for a walk, starting from the origin of an xyz coordinate system, with the xy plane horizontal and the x axis eastward. Carrying a bad penny, he walkseast,north, and then drops the penny from a cliff high. (a) In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the penny from start to its landing point? (b) When the man returns to the origin, what is the magnitude of his displacement for the return trip?
