A car travels 6 km towards north at an angle of 45^o to the east and then travels distance of 4 km towards north at an angle of 135^o to the east. How far is the point from the
starting point? What angle does the straight line joining its initial and final position makes with the east?

Detailed Solution

Net movement along x-direction

$S_{x} = (6 - 4) \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} = 2 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2} km$

Net movement along y-direction

$S_{y} = (6 + 4) \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j} = 10 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 5 \sqrt{2} km$

Net movement from starting point

$| \vec{S} | = \sqrt{S_{x}^{2} + S_{y}^{2}} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^{2} + (5 \sqrt{2})^{2}} = \sqrt{52} km$

Angle which makes with the east direction

$\tan θ = \frac{y -component}{x -component} = \frac{5 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$∴ θ = \tan^{- 1} (5)$
