Vector Worksheet 2 Answers 1. Determine the resultant of: 1. Determine the resultant of: A = 30.0 N at 0o B = 40.0 N at 90o 270 90 180 B a2 + b2 = c2 A (30)2 + (40)2 = R 2 x R x 2500 = R 2 R = 50 N opp 40 tan x = = adj 30 Bearing = 0 + 53 = 53 tan x = 1.33 R = 50 N at 53o x = tan -1 (1.33) = 53o
Determine the resultant velocity (magnitude and direction) 2. Plane = 4.00 x 102 km/h south Wind = 80.0 km/h east Determine the resultant velocity (magnitude and direction) 270 90 180 x a2 + b2 = c2 (400)2 + (80)2 = R 2 P R x 166 400 = R 2 R = 408 km/h W opp 80 tan x = = Bearing = 180 - 11 = 169 adj 400 tan x = 0.20 R = 408 km/h at 169o x = tan -1 (0.20) = 11o
(a) What is the resultant velocity? 3. River = 6.0 m/s to the west Boat = 15 m/s to the south River is 2.00 x 102 meters wide. (a) What is the resultant velocity? 270 90 180 a2 + b2 = c2 (15)2 + (6)2 = R 2 15 m/s R 261 = R 2 x R = 16 m/s 6 m/s opp 6 tan x = = adj 15 Bearing = 180 + 22 = 202 tan x = 0.40 R = 16 m/s at 202o x = tan -1 (0.40) = 22o
(b) How long does it take to reach the other side? 3. River = 6.0 m/s to the west Boat = 15 m/s to the south River is 2.00 x 102 meters wide. (b) How long does it take to reach the other side? d = v t v v 200 m 16 m/s 15 m/s d t = v 6 m/s Use the velocity of the boat across the river 200 m t = 15 m/s t = 13 s
(c) How far downstream has it traveled when it reaches the other side? 3. River = 6.0 m/s to the west Boat = 15 m/s to the south River is 2.00 x 102 meters wide. (c) How far downstream has it traveled when it reaches the other side? d = v t 200 m 16 m/s 15 m/s = ( 6.0 m/s )( 13.33333 s ) 6 m/s d = 80 m d
4. Determine the resultant of: A = 125 N at 270o B = 40.0 N at 180o 4. Determine the resultant of: A = 125 N at 270o B = 40.0 N at 180o 270 90 180 A x a2 + b2 = c2 x B R (125)2 + (40)2 = R 2 17 225 = R 2 opp 40 R = 131 N tan x = = adj 125 tan x = 0.32 Bearing = 270 - 18 = 252 x = tan -1 (0.32) = 18o R = 131 N at 252o
5. Determine the resultant of: A = 75 N at 0o B = 48 N at 270o 5. Determine the resultant of: A = 75 N at 0o B = 48 N at 270o 270 90 B 180 A a2 + b2 = c2 x R (75)2 + (48)2 = R 2 x 7929 = R 2 opp 48 R = 89 N tan x = = adj 75 tan x = 0.64 Bearing = 360 - 33 = 327 x = tan -1 (0.64) = 33o R = 89 N at 327o
