Question
You are driving into St. Louis, Missouri, and in the distance you see the famous Gateway-to-the-West arch. This monument rises to a height of 192 m. You estimate your line of sight with the top of the arch to be 1.61 ° above the horizontal. Approximately how far (in kilometers) are you from the base of the arch?

- Solve the following problem using analytical techniques: suppose you walk 15.0 m straight west and then 26.5 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position ? Give the direction in degrees north of west. (Magnitude and direction )arrow_forwardA team is exploring a tresure. They start at the entrance of a national park and makes the following straight line movements: 68 m, north, 50 m, 25° north of west (155° CCW) 34 m, west 42 m, 17° south of east (343° CCW) Determine their position relative to the entrance of the national park. Can this be explained with a lot of detail in irder to understand.arrow_forwardA map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. The figure below shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. magnitude 334.15 direction 52.27 Chicago Dallas 560 mi 730 mi X mi Xnorth of east of Dallas 5.00 21.0° Atlantaarrow_forward
