A truck starts out at position x = 3.1 mi and y = 6.5 mi and winds up at position x = 4.6 mi, y = 2.1 mi. Find the magnitude and direction of the truck's displacement.
| magnitude | = mi |
| direction | = |
displacement = 4.6i + 2.1j - (3.1i + 6.5j) = 1.5i-4.4j
magnitude = [1.5^2 + 4.4^2]^0.5 = 4.648 miles
direction = tan^-1 (-4.4/1.5) = -71.175 degrees or 288.825 degrees counterclockwise
A watermelon seed has the following coordinates: x = -8.7 m, y = 8.8 m, and z = 0 m. Find its position vector as (a) a magnitude and (b) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis. If the seed is moved to the xyz coordinates (3.1 m, 0 m, 0 m), what is its displacement as (c) a magnitude and (d) an angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis? Put the angles...
A motorist drives south at 40.0 mi/h for 6.00 min, then turns west and travels at 50.0 mi/h for 9.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 60.0 mi/h for 5.00 min. For this trip, find the magnitude of the displacement vector, in miles. (Assume east is the positive x direction, and north is the positive y direction.) Answer: Check Determine the average speed, in m/s. Answer: Check

Example 3.1 A robotic vehicle is exploring the surface of Mars. The stationary Mars lander is the origin of coordinates, and the surrounding surface lies in the xy-plane. The vehicle, which represents as a point, has the coordinates: x = 2.0 – 0.25t2 y = 1.0t + 0.025t3 a) Find the vehicle's coordinates and distance from the lander at t = 2.0s. b) Find the vehicle's displacement...
Someone decided to mount a potato cannon (spudgun) on the back
of a pickup truck. The truck is moving on a straight road at 10 m/s
North. A potato is fired at a speed of 57 m/s at an angle of 39°
clockwise from the direction of the truck's motion. What is the
speed and direction of the potato relative to the road?

SPRING +0000000 x=0 +AX 6.5 When a spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position by an amount Ar it exerts a force given by F =-kar. The - sign indicates that this force is in the opposite direction of Ar and is oriented to restore the spring to its e k is a proportionality constant called the spring constant or the force constant and is related to the stiffness of the spring.
