A ladybug is trying to get to a certain flower by following this path. She moves 23 cm to the left, then moves 33 cm at 35.3 degrees North of West (N of W) and then reaches the flower by moving 12 cm at 22.4 degrees North of East (N of E). What is the magnitude of her final displacement?

It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d, = 4.10 m the north, d, = 1.80 m northeast, and d, = 1.10 m at e = 30.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively.

At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 55.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? yards (b) What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?
