Part B - Practice Problem:

In what direction is your friend from the starting point after skiing 4 km east and then 1.8 km north?

In this problem we will use graphical vector addition to determine your final location on a cross country ski trip. Suppose that on a cross-country ski trip, you travel 1.00 km north and then 2.00 km east. (a) How far and in what direction are you from your starting point? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of your resultant displacement? Figure 1 of 1 2.00 km/ 1.00 km Resultant displacement 1 km. 2 km

Explanation / Answer

1.)

theta = arctan(y/x)

theta = arctan(1.8/4)

theta = 24.2 degree North East

2.)

a.) R = sqrt(1^2 + 2^2 ) = 2.23 km

north east 63.43

b.)magnitude = 2.23 Km

63.43 degree north east
