Question

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.53 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.23 m. Take the center of the clock as the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let D represents the displacement of the fly.) Answer should fill in the blanks below (in other words be in vector form(D=). Find i and j): D = _____m(i) +________ m(j)

Explanation / Answer

displacement= rf-ri=0.51j-0.23i
