A Freshman MSU student tours around the MSU campus. From the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), he walks 300 m, 25° N of W towards the administration building, then he walks for 450 m, 67° W of S reaching the College of SPEAR. From the College of SPEAR, he walked for another 180 m, 59° S of E to be able to reach the College of Business Administration and Accountancy. In order for the student to return to his starting point (which is the CNSM), how far must he walk and in what direction?

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?

You wish to get to Target to purchase “high-quality” goods. To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies. Use your understanding of vectors todetermine how far and in which direction you should walk to get to Target.
