- A vector, V, has a magnitude of 350 N and a
direction of 55°. Determine the following:
- Vx = ______
- Vy = ______
- If Vx = 12 m and Vy = 17 m then determine
the following:

- What is the direction, θ, of this vector?
- A hiker walks 2.5 km at an angle of 45 degrees north of west,
and then hikes 4.0 km at an angle of 30 degrees north of
east. What is the displacement of the hiker from
the origin (magnitude and direction)? Determine the
magnitude and direction by adding the vectors graphically
and mathematically. Be sure to attach
your graph.
Magnitude (from graph):
_______
Magnitude (mathematical) : ______
Direction (from graph):
_______
Direction (mathematical) : ______
- A projectile is launched with a velocity of 130 m/s at an angle
of 41 degrees (relative to the ground). Determine the
following:
- vx = _____
- vy = _____
- What is the maximum height of the projectile?
- What is the range of the projectile?
- Where is the projectile 4.0 s after it is launched?
- If there was a 50 m high wall that is 1400 m away, would the
projectile be able to clear this wall? Show why or why not.
- If a river has a westward current of 1.30 m/s and you head due
north across the river on a boat that has a speed of 1.5 m/s in
still water, then what is speed of the boat relative to the
shore? At what angle does it cross the river?
