Question

A meteor streaking through the night sky is located with radar. At point A its coordinates are (5.00km , 1.25km ), and 1.14s  later its has moved to point B with coordinates (6.04km , 0.910km ).

Find the x component of its average velocity between A and B.

Find the y component of its average velocity between A and B.

Find the magnitude of its average velocity between these two points.

Find the direction of its average velocity between these two points. In degrees counterclockwise from +x axis...

Explanation / Answer

a) (6.04 -5)*1000/1.14 = 912.28 m/s

b) ( 0.910 - 1.25)*1000/1.14 = -298.2456 m/s

c) sqrt(912.28 ^2 + 298.245^2) = 959.79 m/s

d) 341.896 degrees
