A roller coaster travels 200 feet horizontally and then rises 135 feet at an angle of 30 degrees above the ground. What is the magnitude of the resultant vector?

Respuesta :

Say the initial point is (0,0)

The final point is

x = 200 + 135*cos(30) = 200 + 135*sqrt(3)/2 = 316.91 ft
y = 135*sin(30) = 135/2 = 67.5 ft

Resultant vector = (316.91, 67.5) - (0,0) = 316.91, 67.5) ft
