- A runner, jogging along a straight-line path, starts at a position 60.0 m east of a milestone marker and heads west. After a short time interval he is 15.7 m west of the mile marker. Choose east to be the positive x-direction. What is the runner’s displacement from his starting point? Enter a positive value if the displacement is toward east of the milestone and a negative value if the displacement is toward west of the milestone.arrow_forwardA whale swims due east for a distance of 6.95 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.87 km, and finally turns around again and heads 6.37 km due east.

- 1. A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 kmkm northeast, then 45.0 kmkm due north. From this point, he flies an additional distance in an unknown direction, only to find himself at a small airstrip that his map shows to be 70.0 kmkm directly north of his starting point. What was the length of the third leg of his trip? What was the direction of the third leg of his trip? 2. A boat can travel 7.3 m/s in still water. It is crossing a 220 m wide river while pointed due east and the river is flowing at 3.7 m/s, north. What is the speed of the boat, relative to the shore? How long does it take to cross the river? How far downstream does the boat end up? 3. A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 14 m/sm/s .
