Find the horizontal and vertical components of the 100-m displacement of a superhero who flies from the top of a tall building following the path shown in Figure P1.40. Figure P1.40
A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure 1.69
Morty is supposed to meet up with Rick, who is 50 mi north and 100 mi east of Morty,after exploring a new planet. Morty starts by driving east, but after 30 mi he comes to a detour that takes him 15 mi south before going east again. He then drives 8 mi east before his motorcycle runs out of gas. Rick flies over in his spaceship to pick him up. What is Rick’s displacement vector? Give your answer (a) in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north, and (b) as a magnitude and direction.
A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in adirection 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use appropriate scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. What is the spelunker’s displacement?
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances: 100 m east, 300 m south, 150 m at an angle 30˚ south of west, and 200 m 60˚ north of west. What is the displacement (magnitude and direction) from the cave entrance?
Suppose you went for a drive along a long, straight road that runs east-west. Let's define east to be the positive x direction. From your home, you drive east at 30 mi/hr to your friends house for 20 minutes, then at 48 mi/hr east for 10 minutes to the grocery store. Finally, you drive west at 60 mi/hr without stopping to get home. What is your displacement for the entire trip?

While vacationing in the prairie you go on a nature walk. First you walk 260 m south, then a coyote chases you 180 m southwest, then you walk 140 m in a direction 30° east of north. First draw an accurate graphical representation of your motion using a ruler and a protractor. Then use either trigonometry or components to find the displacement (in m) that will return you to your starting point by the most direct route.

You take a three-day hike. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading east. On the second you enjoyed the scenery so much 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 370 south of west, you found yourself in the base camp. Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip. Use the scale 1.0 cm : 2.0 km.
