Question

You glide 28 units to the +y-direction with respect to the +x-axis, then move 32 units with respect to the +x-direction. What is the resultant vertical magnitude of your movement while gliding on air? (Hint: Use the Pythagorean theorem)

Answer 1

This question can be solved by using Pythagora's Theorem.

The resultant magnitude of the movement is "42.5 units".

The x and y components of the movement are given. We can use Pythagora's Theorem to find the resultant of these movements. Hence, applying the Pythagora's Theorem:

$d = \sqrt{d_x^2+d_y^2}$

where,

d = resultant movement = ?

$d_x$ = movement in x direction = 32 units

$d_y$ = movement in y direction = 28 units

Therefore,

$d = \sqrt{(32\ units)^2+(28\ units)^2}$

d = 42.5 units
