An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading East. On the second day you’ve enjoyed the scenery so much that you forgot to take note how far you have walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km and in the direction 37o South of West, you find yourself in the base camp where you have started (which means the total displacement is zero). Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip.

1. A rescue party for a missing child follows a search dog named Trooper. Trooper wanders around and makes trial sniffs along many different paths. Trooper eventually finds the child but his displacements on various legs seem to be truly convoluted. On one of the legs he walks 200.0 m southeast, and then he runs north some 300.0m. On the third leg, he examines the scents carefully for 50.0 m in the direction of 30 west of north On the fourth leg Trooper goes directly south for 80.0 m. picks up a fresh scent and turns 23 west of south for 150.0 m. Find the scalar components of Trooper's displacement vectors and his displacement vector for each leg.
