Answer:
a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b) 70.2º north-west
Explanation:
This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition
vector 1 moves 26 km northeast
let's use trigonometry to find its components
cos 45 = x₁ / V₁
sin 45 = y₁ / V₁
x₁ = v₁ cos 45
y₁ = v₁ sin 45
x₁ = 26 cos 45
y₁ = 26 sin 45
x₁ = 18.38 km
y₁ = 18.38 km
Vector 2 moves 45 km north
y₂ = 45 km
Unknown 3 vector
x3 =?
y3 =?
Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point
R_y = 70 km
we make the sum on each axis
X axis
Rₓ = x₁ + x₃
x₃ = Rₓ -x₁
x₃ = 0 - 18.38
x₃ = -18.38 km
Y Axis
R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃
y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂
y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45
y₃ = 6.62 km
the vector of the third leg of the journey is
v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km
let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length
v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)
v₃ = 19.54 km
to find the angle let's use trigonometry
tan θ = y₃ / x₃
θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)
θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))
θ = -19.8º
with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is
θ’= 180 -19.8
θ’= 160.19º
I mean the address is
θ’’ = 90-19.8
θ = 70.2º
70.2º north-west
Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.
250/4= 62.5 mph
to find the mph of a car, you need to divide the number of miles traveled by the hours that it took to travel that many miles
