On a safari, a team of naturalists sets out toward a research station located 4.63 km away in a direction 38.7 ° north of east. after traveling in a straight line for 2.13 km, they stop and discover that they have been traveling 25.9 ° north of east, because their guide misread his compass. what are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (as a positive angle relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?

Exactly, it is a vector subtraction problem.  Let t=theta,

t1=38.7, d1=4.63;  t2=25.9, d2=2.13

v1=d1 <cos(t1), sin(t1)>=<3,6134, 2.8949>

v2=d2 <cos(t2), sin(t2)>=<1.9161, 0.9304>

Final vector

v3 = v1-v2

=<v3x, v3y>

=<1.6973, 1.9645>

where

v3x=d1*cos(t1)-d2*cos(t2)

v3y=d1*sin(t1)-d2*sin(t2)

The final vector v3 has therefore a magnitude of

||v3||=sqrt(1.6973^2+1.9645^2)=2.5962, and a direction of

theta=atan(1.9645/1.6973)=49.17 degrees  north of east

Note: all three vectors are in the direction of the first quadrant.

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
