The vector ~v represents the displacement vector from Portland, Oregon to Houston, Texas. The vector w~ represents the displacem

ent vector from Houston, Texas to Akron, Ohio. Use the vectors ~v and w~ to answer the following questions:
a. What is the displacement vector Of a plane which flies from Akron, Ohio to Houston, Texas?
b. In order to fly home from Portland to Akron I have a layover in Houston. Find a vector which describes my total displacement over the whole trip.
c. It is approximately 3000 km from Portland to Houston. It is approximately 5500 km from Anchorage, Alaska to Houston. A plane flies in a straight line from Houston to Anchorage and during the flight it passes directly over Portland. Find a vector which describes the displacement of the plane.

Answer:

a

the displacement of the plane is  - \= w

b

The displacement of plane  from Portland to Akron with layover at Houston is  

       \= v  + \= w

c

  the vector which defines this displacement is  \= v + \= w  =- 2500 \ km

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are the

   The displacement from Portland, Oregon to Houston, Texas. is  \= v

    The displacement  from Houston, Texas to Akron, Ohio.  is \= wa

a

   The motion of the plane in question a is in the opposite direction to vector \= w

So the displacement of the plane is  - \= w

b

The motion of Portland to Houston to Akron is in the direction of both vector \= v and  \= w  so

The displacement of plane  from Portland to Akron with layover at Houston is  

       d =  \= v  + \= w

c

From the question we are told that the plane flies over Portland to get to  Anchorage, Alaska which implies that it is moving in opposite direction to the vector \= v

   Give that distance from Portland to Houston is  \= v  = 3000 km

           and the distance from Portland to  Anchorage is \= w = - 5500km

Then the vector which defines this displacement is mathematically represented as

   \= v + \= w  = 3000  -5500

    \= v + \= w  =- 2500 \ km

Find the equation of the line<br> In the form y=mx+b
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/3 is the slope because the line goes down 1 unit and right 3 units.

The y-intercept is 5 because that is where the line crosses the y-axis.
