Hi please help, I am not sure how to solve this problem.
If you are walking 400m east but then decide to turn back and walk 700m west, all within 10 minutes, what is the total distance that you covered and what is the displacement relative to where you started?
Assume that east is the positive direction

- Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south?
