Question

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different directions. Ricardo walks 28.0 m in a direction 60.0∘ west of north. Jane walks 12.0 m in a direction 30.0∘ south of west. They then stop and turn to face each other. What is the distance between them? In what direction should Ricardo walk to go directly toward Jane?

Step 1

Ricardo: Horizontal component = 28 m * cos(60°) = 28 m * 0.5 = 14 m Vertical component = 28 m * sin(60°) = 28 m * 0.866 = 24.248 m Jane: Horizontal component = 12 m * cos(30°) = 12 m * 0.866 = 10.392 m Vertical component = 12 m * sin(30°) = 12 m * 0.5 = 6 m Show more…
