A duck flies in a straight line for 500m (60° N of W)
a.) What angle is this in polar coordinates?
b.) What is the North/South and East/West components of its displacement?
Please help me t-t

Respuesta :

(A) The angle of this in polar coordinates is 30⁰.

(B) The North/South and East/West components of its displacement is 250 m and 433 m respectively.

The angle is this in polar coordinates

60° N of W lies in the fourth quadrant;

θ = 90 - 60 = 30⁰

in polar coordinate = (r,θ) = (500 m, 30⁰)

Vertical component of the displacement (North/South)

Dy = D sinθ

Dy = 500 m x sin(30) = 250 m

Horizontal component of the displacement (East/West)

Dx = D cosθ

Dx = 500 m x cos(30) = 433 m

Thus, the angle of this in polar coordinates is 30⁰.

The North/South and East/West components of its displacement is 250 m and 433 m respectively.
