Usph31: (Vectors) - (Lely 2015)

1. Find the resultant of a 2.0 m displacement at 400 and a 4.0 m displacement at 1270. Give the answer to two significant figures. 2. Find the x- and y- components of a 25 m displacement at an angle of 2100. 3. Add a 30 N force at 300 and a 20 N force at 1400 using the parallelogram method, giving the answer to two significant figures.

1. Using the graphical method, find the resultant of the following two displacements: 2.0 m at 40⁰and
4.0 m at 127⁰, the angles being taken relative to the +x-axis, and give your answer to two significant
figures.

2. Find the x- and y- components of a 25 m displacement at an angle of 210⁰.

3. Add the following two vectors by use of the parallelogram method. 30 N at 30⁰and 20 N at 140⁰.
Remember that numbers like 30 N and 20 N have two significant figures.

4. Four coplanar forces act on a body at point O as shown in figure below. Find their resultant
graphically.

5. The five coplanar forces shown in figure below act on an object. Find their resultant.

6. A force of 100 N makes an angle of ϑ with the x-axis and has a scalar y component of 30 N. Find
both the scalar x-component of the force and the angle ϑ.

7. A child pulls on a rope attached to a sled with a force of 60 N. The rope makes an angle of 40⁰ to
the ground.
a. Compute the effective value of the pull tending to move the sled along the ground.
b. Compute the force tending to lift the sled vertically.

8. A car whose weight is Fw is on a ramp which makes an angle ϑ to the horizontal. How large a
perpendicular force must the ramp withstand if it is not to break under the car’s weight?

9. A boat can travel at speed of 8 km/h in still water on a lake. In the flowing water of a stream, it can
move at 8 km/h relative to the water in the stream. If the stream speed is 3 km/h, how fast can the
boat move past a tree on the shore when it is travelling
a. Upstream
b. Downstream.

10. A plane is travelling eastward at an airspeed of 500 km/h. But a 90 km/h wind is blowing southward.
a. What are the direction and speed of the plane relative to the ground?
b. With the same airspeed, in what direction must the plane head in order to move due east
relative to the Earth?
