An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. it then moves 127 ft at an angle of 46.0° below the horizontal. if we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)

Imagine an isolated positive point charge q (many times larger than the charge on a single proton). there is a charged particle a (whose charge is much smaller than charge q) at a distance from the point charge q. on which of the following quantities does the magnitude of the electric field created by charge q at particle a's position depend? check all that apply.the type of the charge on the charged particle athe relative orientation between q and a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the specific location of the charged particle a (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the amount of the charge on the point charge qthe specific location of the point charge q (while the distance between q and a is fixed)the distance between the point charge q and the charged particle athe amount of the charge on the charged particle a
