Vocaloid:

for 1: consider the sign and the magnitude of -pi/4 (whether the absolute value of -pi/4 is >1 or <1

kaylak:

b?

Vocaloid:

good, I'm still working on 2 but you would have to resolve the force into its vertical and horizontal components I believe and calculate F*distance in both directions

kaylak:

b again?

Vocaloid:

I think so :S technically it should be closer to 28 but that's not an option

kaylak:

oops i was looking at 3 lol

Vocaloid:

3 is something other than b, check your calculations again

kaylak:

d?

Vocaloid:

just look at the y-coordinates -u - v = -3 - (-4) = ?

kaylak:

1

Vocaloid:

good so the y-coordinate must be 1 making a the only possibility 4) just calculate the magnitude and divide the vector by the magnitude

kaylak:

d?

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

5 is just a dot product, it may be helpful to convert to vector notation <,>

kaylak:

d?

kaylak:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

keep in mind u = 13j = <0,13> <0,13> dot <1,3> = ?

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good for 6) since u is the line RS and v is the line OP you will need to find the length of RS and OP by subtracting S - R and P - O respectively, then finding the magnitudes of each segment

kaylak:

are you looking at 6 or 7 i think you are looking at 7

Vocaloid:

oh duh that's 7) 6) the horizontal component is just initial velocity * cos(theta)

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good, lmk if you need help w/ 7

kaylak:

Vocaloid:

well done as a minor nitpick, when you square a negative number you need to write that number in parentheses (-4)^2 not -4^2

Vocaloid:

anyway for 8 to find PQ, subtract Q - P and to find RS, subtract S - R, then perform the indicated operation PQ + 3RS

kaylak:

a

Vocaloid:

good

kaylak:

part b d?

Vocaloid:

good part 9 is basically the same thing just with PQ + 4RS instead

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

awesome then for part 9B you'd just calculate the magnitude based on that

kaylak:

b

Vocaloid:

good 10A is just the same steps from 8 and 9 except with PQ + 5RS

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good guessing part 10B is going to ask for the magnitude

kaylak:

am i seriously getting them all correct?

1 attachment
kaylak:

c? for b

Vocaloid:

10B I got something a little different magnitude = sqrt(18^2 + 26^2) = ?

kaylak:

b

Vocaloid:

good for 11: magnitude = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) as usual, angle is given by tan(theta) = y/x, lmk what you get

kaylak:

b

Vocaloid:

check the magnitude again [ 3cos(123) ] ^2 + [3 sin(123)] ^ 2 = ?

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

good for 12) follow the usual angle formula:

Vocaloid:

|dw:1522803844411:dw|

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

I got something a little different, what did you get as your denominator

kaylak:

b?

Vocaloid:

may I see your calculations so I can see where you might have made a mistake?

kaylak:

trying to multiply both u and v and then I'm lost

Vocaloid:

first convert the notation to <,> to make it a little easier <-1, sqrt(7)> dot <-1, -4> = ?

Vocaloid:

wait

Vocaloid:

<1, sqrt(7)> dot <-1, -4> = ?

Vocaloid:

should be a positive 1 at the beginning

kaylak:

2,-7

Vocaloid:

1. multiply the x-coordinates 2. multiply the y-coordinates 3. add the results from steps 1 and 2

kaylak:

let me check

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

may I know what you got for the dot product?

kaylak:

I did cos(97) I got about -12

Vocaloid:

let's try to take it one step at a time <1, sqrt(7)> dot <-1, -4> we multiply the x-coordinates to get -1 we multiply the y-coordinates to get -4sqrt(7) adding them together gives -1 - 4sqrt(7) as the dot product

Vocaloid:

then, simply find the magnitudes of the vectors <1, sqrt(7)> dot <-1, -4> to put in the denominator of our angle expression lmk what you get, you can leave things in radical form instead of decimals

kaylak:

-10.58

Vocaloid:

magnitudes are always positive so something must be amiss

kaylak:

that's for- 4* square root 7

Vocaloid:

let's leave things in radical form for now please calculate the magnitudes of <1, sqrt(7)> and <-1, -4>

kaylak:

18 23 took out all -

Vocaloid:

1^2 + sqrt(7) ^ 2 = ? (-1)^2 + (-4)^1 = ?

Vocaloid:

last exponent should be a 2

kaylak:

1+7=8 -1+-16=-17

Vocaloid:

good so your magnitudes are sqrt(8) and sqrt(17) putting everything together cos(theta) = (-1-4sqrt(7)) / (sqrt(8*17)) solve for theta

kaylak:

its a

Vocaloid:

well done

Vocaloid:

use the graph to determine what u would be in vector notation then see which dot product is 0

kaylak:

b?

Vocaloid:

check carefully the dot product of <-6,-5> and <5,6> is not 0

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good

kaylak:

14?

Vocaloid:

try sketching the path of the plane (160 mph east and 30 mphs south) and calculate the magnitude of the vector

Vocaloid:

|dw:1522805765660:dw|

Vocaloid:

what's the magnitude of this vector?

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

good

kaylak:

15

Vocaloid:

try to write what vector v would be based on the graph (hint - try finding the horizontal and vertical distance between the tip and tail and put those into a vector) then find u - 2v

kaylak:

a

Vocaloid:

check your calculations again what did you get for vector v?

kaylak:

d

Vocaloid:

may I ask what you got for vector v? it's easier to pinpoint mistakes and speed up the process if I know what steps you're doing

kaylak:

6*2=12 -4*2=-8

kaylak:

2--8=10

Vocaloid:

good, that's 2u, but what about vector v?

kaylak:

7-12=-5

Vocaloid:

|dw:1522806641088:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1522806646524:dw|

Vocaloid:

vector v = <12,2> then v - 2u = <12, 2> - <12, -8> = ?

kaylak:

so it is 10

kaylak:

c

Vocaloid:

good, <0,10> = C

Vocaloid:

16: magnitude = sqrt of dot product as usual

kaylak:

a

Vocaloid:

awesome for 17: tan(theta) = y/x, solve for theta

Vocaloid:

as a hint for tan angles, you might need to add 180 once you get the angle

kaylak:

also a

kaylak:

6.77 and i had 6.75

Vocaloid:

hm, not quite tan(theta) = -27/4 so theta = arctan(-27/4) = ?

kaylak:

b

Vocaloid:

good

kaylak:

my calculator is putting the same thing but b and d are negative?

Vocaloid:

can we open a new question, this one has over 120 posts

Vocaloid:

anyway, for tan, you might get a negative angle but we can convert negative angles to positive angles by adding 180 (this only works for tan)
