  1. A dodge ball player is trying to avoid getting hit by the opposing team. The player runs 2.7 m at an angle 37o They then run 4.9 m at an angle of 62o^. Then then runs 1.7 m at an angle of 13o^.

a. Draw the x and y components of the b. Calculate the resultant displacement. individual vectors on the diagram below.

𝐴𝑥 = 𝐴 cos 𝜃 = 2.7 𝑚 cos 37° = 2.16 𝑚 𝐴𝑦 = 𝐴 sin 𝜃 = 2.7 𝑚 sin 37° = 1.62 𝑚

𝐵𝑥 = 𝐵 cos 𝜃 = 4.9 𝑚 cos 62° = 2.30 𝑚 𝐵𝑦 = 𝐵 sin 𝜃 = 4.9 𝑚 sin 62° = 4.33 𝑚

𝐶𝑥 = 𝐶 cos 𝜃 = 1.7 𝑚 cos 13° = 1.65 𝑚 𝐶𝑦 = 𝐶 sin 𝜃 = 1.7 𝑚 sin 13° = 0.38 𝑚

𝑅𝑥 = 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑥 + 𝐶𝑥 = 2.16 𝑚 + 2.30 𝑚 + 1.65 𝑚 = 6.11 𝑚 𝑅𝑦 = 𝐴𝑦 + 𝐵𝑦 + 𝐶𝑦 = 1.62 𝑚 + 4.33 𝑚 + 0.38 𝑚 = 6.33 𝑚

𝑅 = √𝑅𝑥^2 + 𝑅𝑦^2 = √(6.11 𝑚)^2 + (6.33 𝑚)^2 = 8.80 𝑚

𝜃 = tan−1^ (

𝑅𝑥^ ) = tan

A squirrel runs out into the street in front of your car. The squirrel runs at an angle of 39o^ for 3.0 m, turns around and runs 5.5 m at an angle of 51o^. a. Draw the individual vectors. b. Calculate the resultant vector.

𝐴𝑥 = 𝐴 cos 𝜃 = 3.0 𝑚 cos 39° = 2.33 𝑚 𝐴𝑦 = 𝐴 sin 𝜃 = 3.0 𝑚 sin 39° = 1.89 𝑚

𝐵𝑥 = 𝐵 cos 𝜃 = 5.5 𝑚 cos 51° = 3.46 𝑚 𝐵𝑦 = 𝐵 sin 𝜃 = 5.5 𝑚 sin 51° = 4.27 𝑚

𝑅𝑥 = 𝐴𝑥 + 𝐵𝑥 = 2.33 𝑚 + 3.46 𝑚 = 5.79 𝑚 𝑅𝑦 = 𝐴𝑦 + 𝐵𝑦 = 1.89 𝑚 + 4.27 = 6.16 𝑚

𝑅 = √𝑅𝑥^2 + 𝑅𝑦^2 = √(5.79 𝑚)^2 + (6.16 𝑚)^2 = 8.45 𝑚
