Let's Find Your Position
An object's position is its location relative to a reference point (or origin of a coordinate system). Position is a vector quantity because it does have a direction.
Using the map at the left, approximate to the nearest 1 kilometer your position relative to Ponca, AR. In other words, Ponca, AR is the origin for our coordinate system. (Ponca is represented on the map with the red marker.) Hints: Your position relative to Ponca should include both a magnitude and a direction. In other words, your position should include how far you are "as the crow flies" from Ponca and which direction you are from Ponca. |
