Cartesian Coordinates
001 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
Two points have cartesian coordinates
(7.9 m, 10 m) and (10 m, 1.7 m).
Find the distance between these points.
Correct answer: 21.3846 m.
002 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points
What is the angle between the line connect-
ing the two points and the x-axis (measured
counter-clockwise from the x-axis and within
the limits of 180

to +180

)?
Correct answer: .
Distance to the Origin
003 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
The cartesian coordinates of a point in the xy
plane are x = 6.51 m, y = 2.93 m.
Find the distance r from the point to the
origin.
Correct answer: 7.13898 m.
004 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points
Calculate the angle between the radius-
vector of the point and the positive x axis
(measured counterclockwise from the positive
x axis, within the limits of 180

to +180

).
Correct answer: 155.769

.
Vector Components 02
005 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
A vector representing 150 N is oriented at 42

with the horizontal.

What is the magnitude of its horizontal
component?
Correct answer: 111.472 N.
006 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points
What is the magnitude of its vertical compo-
nent?
Correct answer: 100.37 N.
Descent Vehicle
007 (part 1 of 2) 10.0 points
A descent vehicle landing on the moon has
a vertical velocity toward the surface of the
moon of 28.5 m/s. At the same time, it has a
horizontal velocity of 52.4 m/s.
At what speed does the vehicle move along
its descent path?
Correct answer: 59.6491 m/s.
008 (part 2 of 2) 10.0 points
At what angle with the vertical is its path?
Correct answer: 61.4585

.
