Problem states that the object is moving North then turns and continues West. The answer on the book says final direction is SW. Shouldn't it be NW?
Thanks.
Thanks.
The value of the velocity did not change, just itsOriginally posted by Kinto
I got the velocity and the acceleration. But I am having problem with the direction. Since it's going North then it turns west. Shouldn't it be North West? The answer in the book have it as SW.
Yes the resultant velocity vector is NW but the change is SW. What textbook are you using?Originally posted by Kinto
I've used the head-to-tail method and got the squared of both velocity to get the resultant. And use the resultant velocity to get the acceleration.
Now trying to picture it. Is it accurate to say direction is southwest because during the turn, the car direction is actually moving southwest from it's original direction of North?
Being confused with direction in a problem means that you are having difficulty understanding the steps or process required to solve the problem. You may be unsure of where to start or how to proceed, leading to confusion and uncertainty.
One way to overcome confusion with direction in a problem is to break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. This will help you focus on one aspect at a time and make the problem less overwhelming. You can also try discussing the problem with a peer or seeking guidance from a teacher or tutor.
There are many reasons why someone may become confused with direction in a problem. These can include a lack of understanding of the concepts involved, not paying attention to the problem, or trying to rush through the problem without fully understanding it.
