Problem 5: (10% of Assignment Value)
Two points are located in the Cartesian plane. The first has coordinates (1.59 m, -4.96 m), and the second
has coordinates (-2.68 m, 3.94 m). The diagram is not specific to this problem, but simply illustrates the
relationship between Cartesian and polar coordinates.
Part (a)?
What is the distance, in meters, between the two points?
d = 9.900 m
? Correct!
Part (b)?
What is the value, in meters, of the radial polar coordinate for the first point?
r?=5.200 m
? Correct!
Part (c)
What is the value, in radians, measured counterclockwise from positive x, of the angular coordinate (polar angle) for the first point?
?? = 19 ?/10
?? = 5.969 rad X Attempts Remain
Part (d)?
What is the value, in meters, of the radial polar coordinate for the second point?
r2 = 4.800 m ? Correct!
Part (e)
What is the value, in radians, measured counterclockwise from positive x, of the angular coordinate (polar angle) for the second point?
?2 = 1
