Help meeeee

In gym class you run 22m horizontal then climb a rope vertically for 4.8m. What is the direction angle of your total displacement, as measured from the horizontal?

Respuesta :

You just have to simpy add the vectors together.  Draw a picture to help you.  Your verticle run is a vector that has a magntiude of 22m along the x axis with an angle of 0, and your climb has is a vector with a magnitude of 4.8 along the y axis and an angle of 90 degreed with respect to the x axis therefore add all of the x components and y components.  you will find that the resultant vector has a xcomponent of 22m and a y component of 4.8m so draw a graph the point will be (22,4.8) and then you can simply measure the angle.

It's going to be the angle whose tangent is (4.8 / 22).  That's about 0.2182, and you can easily use your calculator to find the angle that has that tangent.
