On a safari, a team of naturalists sets out toward a research station located 4.63 km away in a direction 38.7 ° north of east.

After traveling in a straight line for 2.13 km, they stop and discover that they have been traveling 25.9 ° north of east, because their guide misread his compass.
What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (as a positive angle relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?

Exactly, it is a vector subtraction problem.  Let t=theta,

t1=38.7, d1=4.63;  t2=25.9, d2=2.13

v1=d1 <cos(t1), sin(t1)>=<3,6134, 2.8949>

v2=d2 <cos(t2), sin(t2)>=<1.9161, 0.9304>

Final vector

v3 = v1-v2

=<v3x, v3y>

=<1.6973, 1.9645>

where

v3x=d1*cos(t1)-d2*cos(t2)

v3y=d1*sin(t1)-d2*sin(t2)

The final vector v3 has therefore a magnitude of

||v3||=sqrt(1.6973^2+1.9645^2)=2.5962, and a direction of

theta=atan(1.9645/1.6973)=49.17 degrees  north of east

Note: all three vectors are in the direction of the first quadrant.

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The  Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / \sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.
