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.

Mr. Brown takes a walk in the park. He first travels 600. m NW and then turns and walks 800. m @ 20.0° WoS. What is his overall displacement of his walk? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 771 m @ 25.1° SoW Thanks!!
