Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Vectors: Problem 28

Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.50 m due east, then 0.80 m at 30° north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.6 m at 40° east of north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?

📝 Solution Approach

Given: 0.50 m, 0.80 m, 1.6 m

Find: (a) the magnitude and; (b) the direction of its second run if it is to end up at the ne
