b. What was his displacement?

Answer:

(a) 3.93 m/s

(b) 861.66 m

Explanation:

A = 4.5 m/s  [27° S of W] for 3.0 minutes

B = 3.5 m/s [35° S of E] for 4.1 minutes

Distance A = 4.5 x 3 x 60 = 810  m

Distance B = 3.5 x 4.1 x 60 = 861 m

(a) The average speed is defined as the ratio of the total distance to the total time.

Total distance, d = 810 + 861 = 1671 m

total time, t = 3 + 4.1 = 7.1 minutes = 7.1 x 60 = 426 seconds

The average speed is

[tex]v=\frac{1671}{426}=3.93 m/s[/tex]

(b)

[tex]\overrightarrow{A} = 810(- cos 27 \widehat{i} - sin 27 \widehat{j})=- 721.7 \widehat{i} - 367.7 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{B} = 861( cos 35 \widehat{i} - sin 35 \widehat{j})= 705.3 \widehat{i} - 493.8 \widehat{j}\\\\\overrightarrow{C} = (- 721.7 + 705.3) \widehat{i} - (367.7 + 493.8) \widehat{j} \\\\\overrightarrow{C}= - 16.4 \widehat{i} - 861.5 \widehat{j}[/tex]

The magnitude is

[tex]C =\sqrt{16.4^2+861.5^2} = 861.66 m[/tex]
