Question

A football field lies so one endzone is to the east and one is to the west. A running back gets the ball and starts running 20o north of east. After running 10 meters, he sees open field and starts running straight east for 60 meters at which point a safety closes in on him. He cuts so he is running 35o east of south. After running another 20 meters he gets in the end zone. Ultimately we want to know what is the vector that points from where he started to where he scored.

Answer 1

Answer:

( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

Explanation:

Running back movements :

20⁰ north of east  for  10 meters,  

Runs straight east for 60 meters

runs 35⁰ east of south for 20 meters

A) show vector pointing from the starting point to the end ( where he scored )

The final vector displacement : ( 80.87 i - 12.96 j ) m

which is : 81.90 m, 9.10⁰ south of east

attached below is the required  diagram
