Question

Suppose you first walk 9.5 m in a direction 20.0° west of north and then 19.5 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. (a) How far are you from your starting point in meters? (b) What is the angle, in degrees, of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured south of west? (c) Repeat part (a), but for the second leg you walk 19.5 m in a direction 40.0° north of east. (d) Repeat part (a), but now you first walk 9.5 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 19.5 m in a direction 20.0° east of south.

Step 1

5 m at 20.0° west of north s2 = 19.5 m at 40.0° south of west Calculate the x and y components of s1: s1x = 9.5 * sin(20°) = 3.24 m (in the negative x direction) s1y = 9.5 * cos(20°) = 8.63 m Calculate the x and y components of s2: s2x = 19.5 * cos(40°) = 14.95 m Show more…
