Movement Analysis: Fielder I
We can track the position of fielder I using coordinates, assuming the starting point is (0, 0). North corresponds to the positive y-axis and East to the positive x-axis.
- Starts at (0, 0).
- Runs 20 m North: Position becomes (0, 20).
- Turns East, runs 35 m: Position becomes (0 + 35, 20) = (35, 20).
- Turns right (South from East), runs 15 m: Position becomes (35, 20 - 15) = (35, 5).
Fielder I's final position is (35, 5).
Movement Analysis: Fielder J
Similarly, we track fielder J's position:
- Starts at (0, 0).
- Runs 30 m North: Position becomes (0, 30).
- Turns right (East from North), runs 35 m: Position becomes (0 + 35, 30) = (35, 30).
Fielder J's final position is (35, 30).
Relative Position Calculation
To find J's position with respect to I, we subtract I's coordinates from J's coordinates:
Relative Position = J - I = (35, 30) - (35, 5)
Relative Position = \((35 - 35, 30 - 5)\)
Relative Position = \((0, 25)\)
The result \((0, 25)\) indicates that J is 0 m along the East-West axis and 25 m along the North-South axis relative to I.
A positive value in the second coordinate indicates North. Therefore, J is 25 m towards the north with respect to I.
