A person walks 34 m East and then walks
31 m at an angle 30◦ North of East.

θ = 30◦ .
and
Version 001 – Quest 2 Review Vectors & 2d kinematics – tubman – (Phys1A2122p3)
The total displacement is the vector sum of
the two displacements, so
Rx = Ra + Rb cos θ = 34 m + (31 m) cos 30◦
= 60.8468 m and
Ry = Rb sin θ = (31 m) sin 30◦ = 15.5 m .
The final displacement is

Blown Off Course 168934
A ship is expecting to travel to its home port
510 km due East. Before the ship starts to
travel, a severe storm comes up and blows the
ship 490 km due South.
How far is the ship from its home port?

Choose a coordinate system with the positive x-axis representing 0◦ and the positive
y-axis representing 90◦ .

At what angle North of East must the ship
travel to reach its destination? Let East be 0◦
and North 90◦ .

9. 43.8543
10. 34.8545
Correct answer: 43.8543 degrees.
Explanation:
The ship was blown to the South, so it
must travel to the North and East to reach its
destination.
If θ is the angle its destination makes with
East, then W is the side opposite θ and S is
the side adjacent, so that

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of
a building 47.7 m high. The ball strikes the
ground at a point 108 m from the base of the
building.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
Find the time the ball is in motion.

Correct answer: 3.12005 s.
Explanation:
In this solution, we take the origin of the x
and y axes at the base of the building. The
positive y direction is taken to point upward,
so that the vertical acceleration is −g. The
time the ball is in flight is found from

A ball is thrown and follows the parabolic
path shown. Point Q is the highest point on
the path and points P and R are the same
height above the ground.
Q
P
R
Correct answer: 34.6149 m/s.
Explanation:
Since there is no acceleration in the horizontal
direction, the x component of the velocity is
constant. So
vx = vx0 = 34.6149 m/s .
011 (part 4 of 4) 10.0 points
Find the y component of its velocity just before it strikes the ground.
How do the speeds of the ball at the three
points compare? Air friction is negligible.
1. k~vQ k < k~vR k < k~vP k
2. k~vQ k < k~vP k = k~vR k correct

5
9.
4. k~vR k < k~vQ k < k~vP k
5. k~vP k < k~vQ k < k~vR k
Explanation:
The speed of the ball in the x-direction is
constant. Because of gravitational acceleration, the speed in the y-direction is zero at
point Q. Since points P and R are located at
the same point above ground, by symmetry
they have the same vertical speed component
(though they do not have the same velocity),
so vQ < vP = vR .
Explanation:
Since air friction is negligible, the only acceleration on the ball after being thrown is
that due to gravity, which acts straight down.

Version 001 – Quest 2 Review Vectors &amp; 2d kinematics – tubman – (Phys1A2122p3)
A ball of mass 0.6 kg, initially at rest, is
kicked directly toward a fence from a point
20 m away, as shown below.
The velocity of the ball as it leaves the
kicker’s foot is 17 m/s at angle of 57 ◦ above
the horizontal. The top of the fence is 7 m
high. The ball hits nothing while in flight and
air resistance is negligible.
The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .

Correct answer: 2.16009 s.
Explanation:
Let : θ = 57 ◦ and
d = 20 m .
The horizontal component of the velocity is
constant, so
vhoriz = v0 cos θ
= (17 m/s) cos 57 ◦
= 9.25886 m/s .

pass? Consider the diameter of the ball to be
negligible.

8. 0.933905
9. 0.81545
10. 0.706199
Correct answer: 0.933905 m.
Explanation:
The vertical component of the initial velocity is
vvert = v0 sin θ
= (17 m/s) sin 57 ◦
= 14.2574 m/s .
The height of the ball during its flight is
given by

− (9.8 m/s2 ) (2.16009 s)2

= 7.93391 m .
y = vvert t −
Therefore, the distance that the ball passes
above the fence is
∆y = (7.93391 m) − (7 m) = 0.933905 m .

when the ball reaches the plane of the fence?

Correct answer: −6.9115 m/s.
Explanation:
Thus the the vertical component of the velocity when the ball reaches the plane of the
fence is
vvert = v0 sin θ − g t
= (17 m/s) sin 57 ◦
− (9.8 m/s2 ) (2.16009 s)
= −6.9115 m/s .
