Magnitude and Direction of Net Displacement Problem
Susan found a nice bicycle on Craigslist and contacted the seller and arranged to pick it up. She got the following directions using Google Maps.
1. Head EAST on E Butler Ave - 0.9 mi
2. Turn RIGHT onto S Clovis Ave - 1.5 mi
3. Turn LEFT onto E Jensen Ave - 7.0 mi
4. Turn RIGHT onto Bethel Ave - 7.0mi
5. Turn RIGHT onto E Manning Ave - 2.0 mi
6. Turn LEFT onto S McCall Ave - 2.4 mi
Assume all streets run either precisely east-west or precisely north-south. Determine the magnitude and direction of the net displacement.
Horizontal Distance of thrown ball
A ball is thrown off a 12m high roof at an angle of 37 degrees above horizontal. The ball is in the air for 30s before it lands. How far does the ball travel horizontally during its flight?
Acceleration Down an Incline
A box slides down an incline. The incline angle is 37 degrees and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the incline is 0.50. Determine the acceleration of the mass down the incline.
Tangential Velocity Problem
A tether ball is tired to a 2.6m light rope. The other end is attached to the top of a pole that is 3.0m high. The ball spins in a horizontal circle 2.0m above the ground. What is the tangential velocity of the ball?
