While in a park, you walk west for 52 m, then you walk 34.6° north of west for 44 m, and finally you walk due north for 25 m. find the components of your final displacement (in m), from your initial to final point, along the north and west directions.

88m west and 50m north

Explanation:

1. Find the components of each vector in x and y:

(Please see the picture below)

- Vector 1:

Fx = 52m

Fy = 0m

- Vector 2:

Fx = 44m*cos34.6

Fy = 44m*sin34.6

- Vector 3:

Fx = 0m

Fy = 25m

2. Find the components of the final displacement acting in x and y:

For west direction:

Rx = 52m + 44m*cos34.6 + 0

Rx = 88m

For north direction:

Ry = 0 + 44m*sin34.6 + 25m

Ry = 50m

this allows people to make the best decision or pursue the best option. when alternatives are weighed using their advantages and disadvantages, the option whose disadvantages outweigh the advantages (based on a qualitative or quantitative analysis) are shunned while those whose advantages outweigh their disadvantages are pursued.  

a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

) the mechanical energy of the firefighter moving.< < < < a) electrical > light, sound, and thermal< < < <

c) both a and b.
