In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.18 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 5.06 km with an average velocity of 2.21 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.717 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)? dw VE East West de Units Number
In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.14 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 5.56 km with an average velocity of 3.44 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.376 m/s due east.

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.
I need help with this practice problem. I was given the answer key but I need help solving it step by step. A car drives North for 1 km. Then it turns and drives 2 km at 30◦ South of West.Finally the driver turns again and drives 0.5 km Northwest.(a) What is the total distance driven?(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the car’s overall displacement? Answer Key: a.) 3.5 km b.) .11 km, 9.55◦
