Chapter 3 Problems

15. A vector has an x component of 25.0 units and a y component of 40.0 units. Find the magnitude and
direction of this vector.

16. Vector A has a magnitude of 35.0 units and points in the direction 325° counterclockwise from the
positive x axis. Calculate the x and y components of this vector.

Chapter 4 Problems

14. In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the
counter is h. The mug slides off the counter and strikes the floor at distance d from the base of the
counter. (a) With what velocity did the mug leave the counter? (b) What was the direction of the mug’s
velocity just before it hit the floor?

37. The 20-g centrifuge at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, is a horizontal,
cylindrical tube 58.0 ft long and is represented in the figure below. Assume an astronaut in training sits
in a seat at one end, facing the axis of rotation 29.0 ft away. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions
per second, required to give the astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 20.0g.
