Consider the change in velocity vector between two points on the velocity diagram that are not consecutive. e.g., points 1 and 4.
Is the direction of the change in velocity vector different than it was for consecutive Points? Explain.
Is the length of the change in velocity vector different than it was tor consecutive points? If so, how many times larger or smaller is it than the corresponding vector for consecutive points? Explain.

- A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?arrow_forwardIf you drive your car for 30 miles to the west, then 20 miles north of east at 60◦ and then 5 miles south, what is the displacement of your car from the origin in unit vector notation? What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement? Draw a diagram.arrow_forwardYour boat is moving at a speed of 15 miles per hour at an angle of 25° upstream on a river flowing at 4 miles per hour. The situation is illustrated in the given figure. Solve, a. Find the vector representing your boat’s velocity relative to the ground. b. What is the speed of your boat, to the nearest mile per hour, relative to the ground? c. What is the boat’s direction angle, to the nearest tenth of a degree, relative to the ground?arrow_forward
- Bruce begins 7 kilometers to the north of town and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3km west of town. It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.arrow_forwardThe angle of the ramp is changed such that it is larger than theta but less than 90 degrees while the height of the ramp remains the same. h. How would the maximum height of the box compare to the original scenario in which the ramp angle was equal to theta? Justify your answer. i. Would the slope of the graph of vertical velocity as a function of time shown above be different for this scenario in which the box is launched from a larger angle? Justify your response.arrow_forwardSuppose you walk 15 m straight west and then 29 m straight north as shown in the figure: a.) How far are you from your starting point in meters? b.) What is the angle of displacement measured west of north in degrees?arrow_forward
- I need magnitude and direction of D of the displacement from start to finish explain please.arrow_forwardA particle moves along the path shown below, from point 1 to point 3 When the particle is at point 2, what direction is its velocity? Draw the velocity vector. (Make sure to include an appropriate label.) If the particle is speeding up as it travels, what is the approximate direction of its acceleration when it is at point 2? If instead the particle is slowing down as it travels, what is the approximate direction of its acceleration when it is at point 2?arrow_forwardHi! I already have answers for parts A-C in this problem, but I'm having trouble with the last part (D.). Attached is the guide to answer it. My answers for part C are: A = 0 B = (V_o cos theta)/omega C = -(mg)/k D = (V_o sin theta)/omega E = mg/k I tried substituting these coefficients to the x(t) and y(t) formulas, but I still can't reduce them to the usual projectile kinematic equations. Also, what does it mean to do a small angle approximation? I hope you can help, thank you in advanced!arrow_forward
- Hi! Please answer this! Thank you so much:) 1. What is the displacement of a runner who joins a marathon if the race begins at a certain park, runs 42km, and finishes the race at the same location in the said park? Explain briefly. 2. One afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the wayaround a circular lake, the radius of which is 1.5 km.They start at the west side of the lake and head duesouth to begin with. (a) What is the distance theytraveled? (Cutnell and Johnson, 2012) (b) describe thecouple’s displacement as compared to the distancetraveled.arrow_forwardA rock is thrown upward from level ground in such a way that the maximum height of its flight, ymax, is equal to its horizontal distance d it travels before landing. (a) At what angle theta is the rock thrown? (b) Would your answer to part (a) be different on a different planet? Why? Hint for part (a): Make a sketch. Write out separate equations for vertical and horizontal motion, introducing a time variable. Relate the two equations to solve for theta.arrow_forwardSolve the following problem using analytical techniques:Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 mstraight north. How far are you from your starting point, andwhat is the compass direction of a line connecting yourstarting point to your final position? (If you represent the twolegs of the walk as vector displacements A and B , then this problem asks you to find their sumR = A + B .)Note that you can also solve this graphically. Discuss why theanalytical technique for solving this problem is potentiallymore accurate than the graphical techniquearrow_forward
