Chapter 3 Question 1: Vector A is the displacement of a rescue helicopter. Its length is 100 km. The helicopter moves with an angle of 30 degrees due east to the northeast toward the victim. (a) Draw vector A (b) Find the component of vector A (c) Write vector A in vector notation. (d) Subsequently, the helicopter moves with the vector toward the hospital. B=-60i+120 j (e) What is the total displacement of the helicopter? Find it both algebraically and geometrically. (f) What is the distance the helicopter has moved? Ax=100*cos(30)=80 km Ay=100*sin(30)=50 km A+B=-20i+170j §72=(20)"2+(170)"2=29300 $=171.17 km
