A girl walks \(4km\) towards west,then she walk \(3km\) in a direction \(30°\)east of north and stops.Determine the girls displacement from her initial point to departure.
Let O and B be the initial and final positions of the girl respectively.
Then,the girl's position can be shown as:
Now,we have
\(\overrightarrow{OA}=-4\hat{i}\)
\(\overrightarrow{AB}=\hat{i}|\overrightarrow{AB}|cos60°+\hat{j}|\overrightarrow{AB}|sin 60°\)
\(=\hat{i}3\times\frac{1}{2}+j^{3}\times\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
\(=\frac{3}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}\)
By the triangle law of vector addition,we have:
\(\overrightarrow{OB}=\overrightarrow{OA}+\overrightarrow{AB}\)
\(=(-4\hat{i})+(\frac{3}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{3}\hat{j})\)
\(=(-4+\frac{3}{2})\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}\)
\(=(-8+\frac{3}{2})\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}\)
\(=\frac{-5}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}\)
Hence,the girl's displacement from her initial point of departure is
\(\frac{-5}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}\hat{j}\)
Let \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \) be two co-initial vectors forming adjacent sides of a parallelogram such that:
\[
|\vec{a}| = 10, \quad |\vec{b}| = 2, \quad \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 12
\]
Find the area of the parallelogram.
Draw a rough sketch for the curve $y = 2 + |x + 1|$. Using integration, find the area of the region bounded by the curve $y = 2 + |x + 1|$, $x = -4$, $x = 3$, and $y = 0$.
A school is organizing a debate competition with participants as speakers and judges. $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ where $ S = \{S_1, S_2, S_3, S_4\} $ represents the set of speakers. The judges are represented by the set: $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ where $ J = \{J_1, J_2, J_3\} $ represents the set of judges. Each speaker can be assigned only one judge. Let $ R $ be a relation from set $ S $ to $ J $ defined as: $ R = \{(x, y) : \text{speaker } x \text{ is judged by judge } y, x \in S, y \in J\} $.
