The components of vector Upper A Overscript right-arrow EndScripts are Ax and Ay (both positive), and the angle that it makes with respect to the positive xaxis is θ. Find the angle θ if the components of the displacement vector Upper A Overscript right-arrow EndScripts are: (a) Ax = 12 m and Ay = 12 m,

(b) Ax= 19 m and Ay = 12 m, and

(c) Ax = 12 m and Ay = 19 m.

(a) θ = Number Units

(b) θ = Number Units

(c) θ = Number Units

(a) θ = 45° = 0.78 rad

(b) θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad

(c) θ = 57.27° = 1 rad

Explanation:

When a vector is resolved into its rectangular components, the formula for the direction angle of the vector with positive x-axis is given as:

tan θ = Ay/Ax

θ = tan⁻¹(Ay/Ax)

(a)

Ax = 12 m

Ay = 12 m

θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/ 12 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(1)

θ = 45° = 0.78 rad

(b)

Ax = 19 m

Ay = 12 m

θ = tan⁻¹(12 m/19 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(0.6315)

θ = 32.27° = 0.56 rad

(c)

Ax = 12 m

Ay = 19 m

θ = tan⁻¹(19 m/12 m)

θ = tan⁻¹(1.58333)

θ = 57.27° = 1 rad

work: w = fd (given)

work done by chet   =50*1 = 50 j

work done by mika =40*2 = 80 j

work done by sara =30*1.5 = 45 j

work done by bill =60*0.5 = 30 j

students in order from the greatest amount of work done to the least is mika> chet> sara> bill

hence option (b) is correct.

b.transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.
