While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances: 71.5 m north, 90.1 m east, 57.3 m at an angle 30.0° south of east, and 28.3 m south.

A Ferris wheel has a radius of 10 m, and the bottom of the wheel passes 1 m above the ground. If the Ferris wheel makes one complete revolution every 18 s, find an equation that gives the height above the ground of a person on the Ferris wheel as a function of time. (Let y be the height above the ground in meters and let t be the time in seconds. Assume that when t = 0 the person is 11 m above the ground and going up.) y = 10 m -1 m

In astronomy, a unit of distance is used called the Astronomical Unit. It is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. If 1 au is 1.49 × 1011 m, and a light-year is the distance it takes light to travel in 1 year elapsed time (light travels at a speed of c = 3.0 x 108 ), then how many au is it to get to Alpha Centauri (our closest star with a planetary system) if is 4.367 lightyears away?
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° north of west, then 4.70 km and 60° south of east, then 1.70 km and 5° east of north, and finally 7.20 km and 55° south of west. Use the analytical method to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant vectors.
Given vector A = (3.00i - 2.00j)m and vector B = (-2.00i + 2.00j)m determine vector C if C = 3A - B. Answers should have three significant figures and each component should have units. Remember to leave a space between your numerical values and the units.
