A spelunker is surveying a cave. He follows a passage that goes 179 m straight west, then 211 m in a direction 45° east of south, then 285 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement he finds himself back where he started. Use a scale drawing to determine the fourth displacement.

a) magnitude	_______ m
b) direction	_______° SELECT ONE -----> : (north of east) (south of east) (south of west) (north of west)

Expert Solution

vector X- component Y-component

179 m west - 179 0

211 m 45° east of south 211 Sin45 - 211 Cos45

285 m at 30° east of north 285 Sin30 285 Cos30

Net displacement in X-direction = -179 + 211 Sin45 + 285 Sin30 = 112.7 m

Net displacement in Y-direction = 0 - 211 Cos45 + 285 Cos30 = 97.6

so net fourth displacement = sqrt (112.7² + 97.6²) = 149.1 m

= tan^-1 (Y/X) = tan^-1(97.6/112.7) = 40.89 north of east

Part 1) Suppose you walk 16.5 m straight west and then 22 m straight north. 50% Part (a) How far are you, in meters, from your starting point? 50% Part (b) What is the compass direction, in degrees measured West of North, of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? Part 2) A displacement vector points in a direction of θ = 26° left of the positive y-axis. The magnitude of this vector is D = 190...

This passage requires critical responss and analysis In Coase’s theory of the firm, he goes over several definitions to discover why a firm exists. In the end, he states that firms exist because it is cheaper to have employees rather than a handful of individual contracts (Lasky, 2017). To put it in Coase’s words, “A factor of production (or the owner thereof) does not have to make a series of contracts with the factors with whom he is co-operating within...

A football quarterback is traveling straight backward at a speed of 5.1 m/s when he throws a pass to a receiver 15.5 m straight downfield. (a) If the ball is thrown at an angle of 25° relative to the ground and is caught at the same height as it is released, what is its initial speed relative to the ground in m/s? (b) How long does it take to get to the receiver in s? (c) What is its maximum...

John is rollerblading down a long, straight path. At time zero, there is a mailbox about 1 m in front of him. In the 5 s time period that follows

John's velocity is given by the velocity versus time graph in the figure. Taking the mailbox to mark the zero location, with positions beyond the mailbox as positive, plot his position versus time in the given position versus time graph.Assuming that all the numbers given are exact, what is John's position at a time of 4.45 s? Enter your answer to at least three significant digits.
