Vectors 2

The document provides 11 problems involving vector forces and vector component calculations. Readers are asked to show their work and calculations for problems involving determining the resultant speed and direction of an object moving with wind resistance, breaking vectors into horizontal and vertical components, adding and subtracting vector quantities, and using trigonometry to solve problems involving vector angles and distances.

Vector Forces

Show all of your work for the following problems.

1. A plane flies at a speed of 175 km/hr North, while being blown by a wind of 25 km/hr
East. What will be the plane's resultant speed and direction ?

2. Elmer throws a soccer ball at a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 35° above the horizontal.
Find the vertical and horizontal components of the ball's velocity.

3. If a plane can fly at a speed of 240 km/hr when there is no wind, what will be the
plane's velocity with respect to the ground, if his plane is blown at a velocity of 25 km/hr
to the east ? If the pilot tries to reach a point 120 km due south, how far off course will he
be when he reaches that latitude ?

4. A group of skate-dudes is using a half pipe ramp for acrobatic maneuvers. If the angle
of the ramp is 40° at one point, find the components of weight for a 50 kg dude. What
will be his acceleration in the direction of the incline ?
5. - 7. Break the following vectors down into their perpendicular components.

5. 345 m at 278°

6. 225 N at 125°

7. 25 m/s at 195°

8. A surveyor marks out a baseline distance of 250 feet from a bridge which is 100 feet tall.
What is the angle of inclination of the bridge from the horizontal ?

9. A man washing windows has set up his ladder, which is 5 meters in length, so that it
leans against the wall of a building, with its base is 3 meters from the base of the wall.
If there is a window 4.5 meters above the ground, will he be well positioned to clean it ?
10. If you stand back a distance of 520 meters from the Washington monument, and look
through a surveyors sextant, you will observe an angle of 18° elevation above the
horizontal. How tall must the monument be ?

11. An extreme skiier leaps from the top of a hill with an angle of 58° above the
horizontal. If his mass was 70 kg, find the components of his weight. Would his
acceleration be any different if his mass was 50 kg ? Prove your answers by making
separate vector diagrams for each weight.

12. Draw a vector diagram to add the vectors shown here:
