A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds herself back where she started. • Determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Express direction in terms of N, E, W, S cardinal directions. • Draw a sketch (with labels of magnitude and direction) of Dora's journey

A delivery man starts at the post office, chives 40 km north, then 20 km west, then 60 km northeast, and finally 50 km north to stop for lunch. Use a graphical method to find his net displacement vector.
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53
An aircraft undergoes two displacements. If the first displacement is directed at an angle of 225 with the positive x axis and has magnitude 30.0 miles, and if the resultant displacement is directed at an angle of 75.0 with the positive x axis and magnitude 22.0 miles, what are the magnitude and direction of the second displacement?
5.You start at the origin on an ay plane. You walk 20 meters at an angle of 25 degrees north of the +x axis. After that, you turn, then walk 20 metors at an angle 45 degrees north of the +x axis. Finally, you turn and walk 10 meters at an angle 15 degrees south of the +x axis. Your friend, still at the origin, walks in a straight line to you in the fastest route. What angle do thoy take, and how many moters do they go?

1. You have been hired to survey a new national park area. Youbegin at Point A on the map. You had originally planned to builda bridge from Point 1 to Point B, but have found the ground atPoint 1 is too unstable. So, you decided to build the bridge fromPoint A to Point B. You know the distance from Point A to Point 1is 30m. Within the AB1 triangle the angle at Point B is 45°, andthe angle at Point A is 20°.How long will the bridge need to be?2. You scout the territory northwest of B for 62m. You determineyou can build a flat trail here. This trail will end at point C. Usingan imaginary line due north from B you find the angle from B toC is 22°.How far north is Point C from Point B? 3. There is a hill at Point C, and you climb it to get an idea of whereto travel to next. You see the edge of a forest (Point D). Youclimb back down to the bottom of the hill (Point C) and walk toPoint D. You track your distance and find you have travelled98m. Using a tool you find the angle from Point D to…
