Use appropriate units and signficant figures. You drive 67.0 mi 35.0º south of east and then drive 40.0 mi 20.0º west of south. What is your displacement?​

D = 54.9 mi, 71.6 South of the East

Explanation:

In this exercise it is asked to find the displacement of the body, one of the easiest tasks is to dispose each displacement in a Cartesian coordinate system, let's use trigonometry

* first displacement d₁ = 67.0 mi

the angle is 35 south of east, measured from the axis x θ = -35

             cos -35 = x₁ / d₁

             sin -35 = y₁ / d₁

            x₁ = d₁ cos (-35)

            y₁ = d₁ sin (-35)

            x₁ = 67 cos 35 = 54.88 mi

            y₁ = -67 sin 35 = -38.43 mi

* second displacement d₂ = 40, mi

the angle is 20 to the west of the south, so mean from the axis x is

           θ = 180+ 20 = 200º

           cos 200 = x₂ / d₂

           sin 200 = y₂ / d₂

           x₂ = d₂ cos 200

           y₂ = d₂ sin 200

           x₂ = 40.0 cos 200 = -37.59 mi

           y₂ = 40.0 sin 200 = -13.68 mi

now we can find the displacement in each exercise

            X_total = x₁ + x₂

            X_total = 54.88 -37.59

            X_total = 17.29 mi

            Y_total = y₁ + y₂

            Y_total = -38.43 -13.68

             Y_total = - 52.11 mi

Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the displacement

             D =

             D =

             D = 54.9 mi

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

             tan θ =

             θ = tan⁺¹ \frac{y_{total} }{x_{total} }

             θ = tan⁻¹ (-52.11 / 17.29)

             θ = -71.6º

the negative sign indicates that it is measured clockwise from the x-axis.

In cardinal coordinates it is 71.6 South of the East

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
