The treasure map in the figure gives the following directions to the buried treasure: "Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 510 paces, then due east for 130 paces. Dig." But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60? east of north. After walking 360 paces you see an opening through the woods. (Figure 1)

Part A

Which direction should you go to reach the treasure?

Part B

How far should you go to reach the treasure?

The treasure map in the figure gives the following directions to the buried treasure: "Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 510 paces, then due east for 150 paces. Dig." But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60? east of north. After walking 350 paces you see an opening through the woods.(Figure 1)

1)Which direction should you go to reach the treasure?

2How far should you go to reach the treasure?

co-ordnate of treasire = 150 i^ + 510 j^

position of the person after travelling along the wall = 350 * sin 60 i^ + 350*cos 60 j^ = 303.1089 i^ + 175 j^


so vector to be taken to reach the treasure = final position - intial = 150 i^ + 510 j^ - 303.1089 i^ - 175 j^   = -153.1089 i^ + 335 j^

so direction in angle = tan inverse ( 153.1089 / 335 ) = 24.562 degrees west of North


2) distance = sqrt ( 153.1089^2 + 335^2) = 368.3305 paces

a) A treasure map gives the following directions: (1) Walk fifty meters at 30 degrees north or east from the old oak tree. (2) Turn 45 degrees to your left (you should now be facing 75degrees north of east) and walk another fifty meters. You will find the treasure buried under a rock.

You find a pirate map which describes the path to a buried treasure. Starting from an old oak tree in a field, the map instructs you to walk 16.0 meters due west, then turn in the direction 30.0 degrees north of east and walk an additional 21.0 meters. Finally, you need to walk 7.50 meters due south to where the treasure is buried. How far away from the base of the oak tree and in what direction is the treasure...

The figure gives the acceleration of a 4.0 kg particle as an applied force moves it from rest along an x axis from x = 0 to x = 9.0 m. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by as = 8.0 m/s2. How much work has the force done on the particle when the particle reaches (a) x = 4.0 m, (b) x = 7.0 m, and (c) x = 9.0 m? What is the particle's speed...
