Use the graphical method of for adding vectors to find the total displacement of a person who walks the following three paths (displacements) on a flat field. First, he walks 25 m in a direction 49 ° north of east. Then, he walks 23 m heading 15° north of east. Finally, he turns and walks 32 m in a direction 68° south of east.

Borsalino wants to buy some ice cream in the nearest convenience store. He has to walk 5.3 meters, 12 degrees in the north of east direction to reach the doorstep of the convenience store. He then enters the store and walks straight to cashier, two meters due northwest. Let Á be the displacement vector with a magnitude of 5.3 meters directed 12 degrees in the north of east direction, and let B be the displacement vector with a magnitude of two meters due northwest. Express vectors Á and B in unit vector component form. À = + B - + The net displacement is given by the vector sum: :Ř=À +B. Ř- By Pythagorean theorem,the magnitude of the displacement is: |Ř = meters. The direction of the resultant displacement is: 0 = north of east.

During a walk through a park, a person wanders to look at three different gardens. The person makes three successive displacements as follows, 30 paces due north (vector A), 50 paces @ 15o south of east (vector B), and 40 paces due west (vector C). Using the head-to-tail method of vector addition make a rough sketch of the resultant displacement vector. Using the component method of vector addition, determine the magnitude (in paces) and direction of the resultant displacement vector. ________ @ __________

A traveler is exploring an unfamiliar cave in the Northern Luzon. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Draw the diagram following her path, then solve for the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. You may also try drawing a scale diagram of the given vectors using your ruler and protractor, then measure the fourth displacement to check your quantitative answer.
