A drunken sailor stumbles 580 meters north, 530 meters northeast, then 480 meters northwest. What is the total displacement and

the angle of the displacement? (Assume east is the +x-direction and north is the +y-direction.)
a) What's the magnitude?
b) What's the direction? (In degrees and counterclockwise to the x-axis.)

Answer:

(a)  1294.66 m

(b) 88.44°

Explanation:

d1 = 580 m North

d2 = 530 m North east

d3 = 480 m North west

(a) Write the displacements in vector forms

\overrightarrow{d_{1}}=580\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=530\left ( Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{d_{2}}=374.77\widehat{i}+374.77\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=480\left ( - Cos45\widehat{i}+Sin45\widehat{j} \right )

\overrightarrow{d_{3}}=-339.41\widehat{i}+339.41widehat{j}

The resultant displacement is given by

\overrightarrow{d}\overrightarrow{d_{1}}+\overrightarrow{d_{2}}+\overrightarrow{d_{3}}

\overrightarrow{d}=\left ( 374.77-339.41 \right )\widehat{i}+\left ( 580+374.77+339.41 \right )\widehat{j}

\overrightarrow{d}=35.36\widehat{i}+1294.18\widehat{j}

magnitude of the displacement

d ={\sqrt{35.36^{2}+1294.18^{2}}}=1294.66 m

d = 1294.66 m

(b) Let θ be the angle from + X axis direction in counter clockwise

tan\theta =\frac{1294.18}{35.36}=36.6

θ = 88.44°

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

gavmur [86]

Answer:

C a fast-moving cold front moved through the area.

Explanation:

This is because, since there is a there is a thunderstorm and high winds in the area, this can only be caused by a fast moving front. Also there is a temperature drop, this can only be caused by the fast moving cold front since a cold front has a low temperature.

Thus, for the area to experience thunderstorms with high winds and a drop in temperature, <u>a fast-moving cold front moved through the area.</u>
