Question

What are the components of the displacement vector from camp to summit? Choose the z axis east, y axis north, and z axis up Enter the x, y, and z components of the displacement vector using three significant figures separated by commas Constants The summit of a mountain, 2360 m above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4980 m horizontally from the camp in a direction 32.7 west of north. ddy, d4780,1410,2360 Previous Answers Request Answer X Incorrect; Try Again; 5 attempts remaining Part B What is its magnitude? Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Solution)

Here,

xSummit = -(4980 * sin(32.7))

ySummit = +(4980 * cos(32.7))

zSummit = +2360

magnitude(basecamp-summit) = sqrt(xSummit^2 + ySummit^2 + zSummit^2)

xSummit = -2690.39

ySummit = +4190.72

zSummit = +2360

======

Part b)

magnitude(basecamp-summit) = 5510.89 (Ans)
