Typical backyard ants often create a network of chemical trails for guidance. Extending outward from the nest, a trail branches (bifurcates) repeatedly, with 60° between the branches. If a roaming ant chances upon a trail, it can tell the way to the nest at any branch point: If it is moving away from the nest, it has two choices of path requiring a small turn in its travel direction, either 30° leftward or 30 rightward. If it is moving toward the nest, it has only one such choice. Figure shows a typical ant trail, with lettered straight sections of 1.9 cm length and symmetric bifurcation of 60°. The angle between path w and the y axis is 30°. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the positive direction of the superimposed x axis) of an ant's displacement from the nest (find it in the figure) if the ant enters the trail at point A?

Oasis B is 8.0 km due east of oasis A. Starting from oasis A, a camel walks 20 km in a direction 15.0° south of east and thenwalks 30 km due north. If it is to then walk directly to B, (a) how far and (b) in what direction (relative to the positive x-axis within the range (-180°, 180°] should it walk?
At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 9.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 60.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 60.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?

Typical backyard ants often create a network of chemical trails for guidance. Extending outward from the nest, a trail branches (bifurcates) repeatedly, with 60˚ between the branches. If a roaming ant chances upon a trail, it can tell the way to the nest at any branch point: If it is moving away from the nest, it has two choices of path requiring a small turn in its travel direction, either 30˚ leftward or 30˚ rightward. If it is moving toward the nest, it has only one such choice. Figure shows a typical ant trail, with lettered straight sections of 2.8 cm length and symmetric bifurcation of 60˚. The angle between path w and the y axis is 30˚. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle (relative to the positive direction of the superimposed x axis) of an ant's displacement from the nest (find it in the figure) if the ant enters the trail at point A?

Can you please help with this question i’m extremely stuck, thank you so much!!
2) A postman was driving a motorcycle travelling 9.0 km 50° North of East, then 11.0 km, 35° South of East, and another 12.0 km, 20° North of East before coming to a stop. Due to the unstable data connection of his mobile phone, he missed the address of the receiver. Instead of taking the last route, he should have driven 9.0 km, 20° West of North. i) Draw the path that the postman have driven. ii) Determine the path that the postman should have taken to arrive at the address of the receiver (magnitude and direction). iii) Determine the postman's displacement from his starting position.
