Algebra.Com's Answer #836258 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A woman jogs 4.2 km, 10° E of N and then 2.9 km E at the speed of 8 km/h. How much time would she have saved of she jogged directly to her generation ?? destination ? In what direction should she have headed for this? \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "10° E of N is a heading of 010 degs, an angle of 80 degs with the x-axis. \n" ); document.write( "East is heading of 090, parallel to the x-axis. \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Using Vectors: \n" ); document.write( "Label the points O, A and B in order. \n" ); document.write( "Vector OA is 4.2 km at 080. \n" ); document.write( "The x-component is 4.2*cos(80) = ~0.729 km \n" ); document.write( "The y-comp is 4.2*sin(80) = ~4.14 km \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "For AB: \n" ); document.write( "The x-comp is 2.9 \n" ); document.write( "The y-comp is 0 (zero). \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Add the x and y comps: \n" ); document.write( "x = 0.729 + 2.9 = 3.629 \n" ); document.write( "y = 4.14 \n" ); document.write( "---> point B is (3.629,4.14) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The distance OB = \n" ); document.write( "The time difference in hours is 7.1/8 - 5.5/8 \n" ); document.write( "================================= \n" ); document.write( "Can you also help me draw the vector direction? Only if its okay with you. Thank you \n" ); document.write( "The \"vector directions\" are above, 80 degs and 0 degs wrt the x-axis. \n" ); document.write( "The angle of OB wrt the x-axis = atan(y/x) = atan(4.14/3.629) = ~48.8 degs wrt the x-axis ---> a heading of 41.2 degs \n" ); document.write( " |
