Skylar travels 50 meters N and then goes 30 meters W before coming straight back south 20 meters. What distance did she travel?

Physics

4 0

Answer:

100\ \text{meters}.

Explanation:

Distance Skylar traveled North is 50\ \text{meters}

Then she traveled 30\ \text{meters} Westward.

After which she traveled 20\ \text{meters} towards the South.

The total distance traveled would be the sum of the distances.

50+30+20=100\ \text{meters}

The distance traveled by Skylar was is 100\ \text{meters}.

How do you calculate the net force when there are multiple forces in different directions?​
Artyom0805 [142]

To find F_{net} we need to use vector addition and use the x and y components. First we subtract vector 2 from vector 5 which results in a vector with a  length of 3 pointing directly east, then we use the distance formula to find the length of the net force F_{net} = \sqrt{(3)^2+(4)^2} \\  which gives F_{net} = 5. We now have a magnitude but we also need a direction, since vector 4 and vector 5 are perpendicular. Using \theta = \tan^{-1} (\frac{4}{3})   where tan^-1(y/x) we get an angle of 53 degrees. The resultant force vector is 5 distance with an angle of 53 degrees north east.

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/
velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

 To get the  true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

 which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

 

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯,   P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

 

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector.  To get the coordinates of these two vectors,  use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.
