A horse trots 17 miles north and then turns and trots 24 miles at an angle of 40° west of north. Find the resultant displacement
1 answer:
Answer:
Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° north of west.
Explanation:
Let north represent positive y direction and east represent positive x direction. Unit vector along x direction is represented by i and vector along unit vector along y direction is represented by j
Initial displacement = 17 miles north = 17 j miles
Final displacement = 24 miles at an angle of 40° west of north = 24 miles at an angle of 130° to positive x -axis
= (24 cos 130 i + 24 sin 130 j )
= (-15.43 i + 18.36 j ) miles
Total displacement = 17 j + (-15.43 i + 18.36 j) = -15.43 i + 35.36 j
Magnitude of displacement
Angle to positive x -axis = tan⁻¹(35.36/-15.43) = 113.57°
Resultant displacement = 38.58 miles at an angle of 23.57° west of north.

The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg
Explanation:
The weight of the sugar bag on Earth is:
g=9.81 m/s²
m=3.50 lb=1.59 kg
=m·g=1.59 kg×9.81 m/s²= 15.57 N
The weight of the sugar bag on the Moon is:
g=9.81 m/s²÷6= 1.635 m/s²
=m·g=1.59 kg× 1.635 m/s²= 2.60 N
The weight of the sugar bag on the Uranus is:
g=9.81 m/s²×1.09=10.69 m/s²
=m·g=1.59 kg×10.69 m/s²= 16.98 N
The mass of the bag is the same on the three planets. m=1.59 kg
