Initial velocity vector vA has a magnitude of 3.00 meters per second and points 20.0o north of east, while final velocity vector

vB has a magnitude of 6.00 meters per second and points 40.0o south of east. Find the magnitude and the direction of the change in velocity vector Δv (which is the vector subtraction of the two vectors: final velocity vector minus initial velocity vector).

Answer:

5.2\ \text{m/s}

70^{\circ} south of east

Explanation:

v_a = 3 m/s

\theta_a = 20^{\circ} north of east

v_b = 6 m/s

\theta_b = 40^{\circ} south of east = 360-40=320^{\circ} north of east

x and y component of v_a

v_{ax}=v_a\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=3\times \cos 20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ax}=2.82\ \text{m/s}

v_{ay}=v_a\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=3\times \sin20^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{ay}=1.03\ \text{m/s}

x and y component of v_b

v_{bx}=v_b\cos \theta\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=6\times \cos 320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{bx}=4.6\ \text{m/s}

v_{by}=v_b\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=6\times \sin320^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_{by}=-3.86\ \text{m/s}

\Delta v=v_b-v_a\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=(4.6-2.82)\hat{i}+(-3.86-1.03)\hat{j}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=1.78\hat[i}-4.89\hat{j}

Magnitude

|\Delta v|=\sqrt{(-4.89)^2+1.78^2}\\\Rightarrow \Delta v=5.2\ \text{m/s}

Direction

\theta=\tan{-1}|\dfrac{-4.89}{1.78}|\\\Rightarrow \theta=70^{\circ}

The magnitude of the change in velocity vector is 5.2\ \text{m/s} and the direction is 70^{\circ} south of east.

Find the object's speeds v1, v2, and v3 at times t1=2.0s, t2=4.0s, and t3=13s.
Burka [1]
Since this is a distance/time graph, the speed at any time is the slope
of the part of the graph that's directly over that time on the x-axis.

At time  t1 = 2.0 s
That's in the middle of the first segment of the graph,
that extends from zero to 3 seconds.
Its slope is  7/3 .              v1 = 7/3 m/s .

At time  t2 = 4.0 s
That's in the middle of the horizontal part of the graph
that runs from 3 to 6 seconds.
Its slope is zero.
                                     v2 = zero .

At time  t3 = 13 s.
That's in the middle of the part of the graph that's sloping down,
between 11 and 16 seconds.
Its slope is  -3/5 .            v3 = -0.6 m/s .

What is required to specify the position of an object?(๑•ᴗ•๑)♡​
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

To describe the motion of any object, we must be able to describe its position x. It reflects it at any particular time. In other words, we need to specify its position relative to the conventional frame of reference.
