Question

Thor’s Mjölnir is aimed 13.75 degrees above the horizontal at a mirror 11.53 km away. It breaks off the
mirror and continues for an additional 8.57 km at 11.44 degrees above the horizon until it hits its target.
Find the resultant displacement of the beam to the target using the Graphical and Analytical
Method and get the % Error using Analytical as the True Value.

Answer 1

Answer:

11.44

Explanation:

resultant displacement.......

Answer 2

d=53.0 km d=53.0 km d=53.0 km is the true value of resultant displacement.

1. Displacement- 8 48.7° north latitude

d=53.0 km d=53.0 km d=53.0 km

0=48.7° Ax

2. MAKE A PLAN

Select the equation(s) or scenario: The sine and cosine functions can be used to find the components because the axes are perpendicular.

adversity = d axe

To isolate the unknown(s), rearrange the equations as follows:

d=Ax (cos 8) d=ay (sin 0)

3.  (53.0 km)(cos 48.7 degrees) Delta*x

Ax= westward 35.0 km

(53.0 km) Delta*y (sin 48.7 degrees)

39.8 kilometers north of Ay

4. COMPARE AND EVALUATE

The Pythagorean theorem is used to verify the magnitudes of the responses.

The constituents

d 2 = Delta * x 2 + Delta * y 2 d 2 = Delta * x 2 + Delta * y 2 d 2 = Delta * x 2 + Delta * y 2 d 2 = (35.0 km) 2 + (39.8 km) 2 = (53.0 km) 2
