Precalculus II
Technical Physics (Phy 111) Set 5 Test
Completely document your work and your reasoning.
You will be graded on your documentation, your reasoning, and the
correctness of your conclusions.
Test should be printed using Internet Explorer. If
printed from different browser check to be sure test items have not been cut off. If
items are cut off then print in Landscape Mode (choose File, Print, click on Properties
and check the box next to Landscape, etc.).

Instructions:
- Test is to be taken without reference to text or
outside notes.
- Graphing Calculator is allowed, as is blank paper or
testing center paper.
- No time limit but test is to be taken in one
sitting.
- Please place completed test in Dave Smith's folder,
OR mail to Dave Smith, Science and Engineering, Va. Highlands CC, Abingdon, Va.,
24212-0828 OR email copy of document to dsmith@vhcc.edu,
OR fax to 276-739-2590. Test must be returned by individual or agency supervising test. Test is not to be returned to student after it has been taken. Student may, if proctor deems it feasible, make and retain a copy of the test..
Directions for Student:
- Completely document your work.
- Numerical answers should be correct to 3 significant
figures. You may round off given numerical information to a precision consistent
with this standard.
- Undocumented and unjustified answers may be counted
wrong, and in the case of two-choice or limited-choice answers (e.g., true-false or
yes-no) will be counted wrong. Undocumented and unjustified answers, if wrong, never get
partial credit. So show your work and explain your reasoning.
- Due to a scanner malfunction and other errors some
test items may be hard to read, incomplete or even illegible. If this is judged by
the instructor to be the case you will not be penalized for these items, but if you
complete them and if they help your grade they will be counted. Therefore it is to
your advantage to attempt to complete them, if necessary sensibly filling in any
questionable parts.
- Please write on one side of paper only, and staple
test pages together.

Problem Number 1
What are x and y the components of the vector obtained when we add force vector
A, with magnitude 12.8 meters and angle 77.1 degrees, to the force vector B whose
angle and magnitude are 99.5 degrees and 17.1 meters?
- What are the magnitude and angle of this resultant vector?

Problem Number 2
What are x and y the components of the vector
obtained when we add the two following vectors:
- vector A, with x and y components 5.7 and
5 , and
- vector B whose x and y components are 8.5 and
3.6 ?
What are the magnitude and angle of the resultant
vector?

Problem Number 4
A spacecraft, initially stationary within its reference frame, is being pulled
by two different planets. The first pulls with a force of 4.06 pounds to the North,
as defined by the reference frame of the craft, and the second with a force of 6.34 pounds
to the East. The spacecraft starts to move in response to the combined force.
- At what angle with the Easterly direction does the spacecraft initially move?
- How many pounds of force does the spacecraft experience from the combined effects
of the two planets?

Problem Number 5
If I walk .09 miles to the East, then 2.09 miles to
the North, I will have walked 2.18 miles.
- If you walk in a straight line from my starting
point to my final position, what angle will your path make with East, and how far will you
walk?
