Chapter 3 Tutorial Examples

1. Two points in the xy plane have Cartesian coordinates (6.00, 12.0) m and
(15.0, 4.00) m.
Determine: (a) the distance between these points and
(b) the polar coordinates of the two points.

2. The polar coordinates of a certain point are (𝑟 = 7.86 cm, ∠330°).


(a) Find its Cartesian coordinates x and y.

Find the polar coordinates of the points with Cartesian coordinates


(b) (x, 3y)
(c) (11x, 11y)
(d) (15x, 5y).

3. Why is the following situation impossible? A cyclist rides along a circular path. She
defines a certain point on the circle as her origin. Later on, she passes through a point
at which the distance she has travelled along the path from the origin is smaller than
the magnitude of her displacement vector from the origin.

4. A force ⃗⃗⃗
𝐹1 of magnitude 8.00
units acts on an object at the origin F2
in a direction 𝜃 = 30° above
the negative x axis. A second force 𝐹 ⃗⃗⃗2
F1
of magnitude 6.00 units acts on the object
in the direction of the positive y axis.

Find graphically the magnitude and


direction of the resultant force ⃗⃗⃗
𝐹1 + ⃗⃗⃗
𝐹2

5. ⃗ = 5.00𝑖̂ − 6.00𝑗̂
Given the vectors 𝐴 = 3.00𝑖̂ + 4.00𝑗̂ and 𝐵
(a) Draw the vector sum 𝐶 = 𝐴 + 𝐵 ⃗ and the vector difference 𝐷
⃗ =𝐵
⃗ −𝐴

(b) ⃗ , in terms of unit vectors.


Calculate 𝐶 and 𝐷

(c) Calculate 𝐶 and 𝐷⃗ , in terms of polar coordinates, with angles measured with
respect to the positive x axis.
6. The top view in the adjacent diagram
shows two forces applied on a block.
⃗⃗⃗
𝐹1 = 120 𝑁, 𝜃1 = 75.0°.
⃗⃗⃗ y
𝐹2 = 100 𝑁, 𝜃2 = 60.0° F1 F2
Find
(a) the single force that is equivalent to the
two forces shown and
(b) the force that a third person would 75° 60° x
have to exert on the block to make the
resultant force equal to zero.
The forces are measured in units of newtons
(symbolized N).

7. ⃗ = 𝑖̂ − 3𝑗̂ m and
Consider the three displacement vectors 𝐴 = 4𝑖̂ − 4𝑗̂ m, 𝐵
𝐶 = −3𝑖̂ + 2𝑗̂ m

Use the component method to determine


(a) the magnitude and direction of 𝐷⃗ = 𝐴+𝐵 ⃗ + 𝐶 and
(b) the magnitude and direction of 𝐸⃗ = 𝐴 − 𝐵
⃗ −𝐶
