You start at the origin on an ay plane. You walk 20 meters at an angle of 25 degrees north of the +x axis. After that, you turn, then walk 20 metors at an angle 45 degrees north of the +x axis. Finally, you turn and walk 10 meters at an angle 15 degrees south of the +x axis. Your friend, still at the origin, walks in a straight line to you in the fastest route. What angle do thoy take, and how many moters do they go?

In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?
Starting at the island of Moi in an unknown archipelago, a fishing boat makes a round trip with two stops at the islands of Noi and Poi. It sails from Moi for 4.76 nautical miles (nmi) in a direction 37 north of east to Noi. From Noi, it sails 69 west of north to Poi. On its return leg from Poi, it sails 28 east of south. What distance does the boat sail between Noi and Poi? What distance does it sail between Moi and Poi? Express your answer both in nautical miles and in kilometei. Note: 1 nmi = 1852m.
A trapper walks a 5.0-lan straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?
Check Your Understanding Verify that vector v V obtained in Example 2.14 is indeed a unit vector by computing its magnitude. If the convoy in Example 2.8 was moving across a desert flatland—that is, it the third component of its velocity was zero—what is the unit vector of its direction of motion? Which geographic direction does it represent?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0 south of west, then 5.10 km straight east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the castaway’s final position relative to the island.
A roller-coaster car moves 200 ft. horizontally and then rise 135 ft. at an angle of 30.0O above the horizontal. It next travels 135 ft. at an angle of 40.0O downward. What is the displacement? What is the angle from its starting point?
1. The final push to the summit of Mt. Everest starts at Camp 3. Your displacement from Camp 3 to Camp 4 is 400 meter west, 600 meter south, and 100 meter up. From Camp 4 to the peak is 900 meter east, 200 meter south, and 200 meter up. a. What is the displacement from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? Give distances east/west, north/south and up/down from Camp 3 to the peak. b. What is the straight-line distance from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? The straight-line distance is the distance if you drew a straight line from Camp 3 to Mt. Everest.

1. You have been hired to survey a new national park area. Youbegin at Point A on the map. You had originally planned to builda bridge from Point 1 to Point B, but have found the ground atPoint 1 is too unstable. So, you decided to build the bridge fromPoint A to Point B. You know the distance from Point A to Point 1is 30m. Within the AB1 triangle the angle at Point B is 45°, andthe angle at Point A is 20°.How long will the bridge need to be?2. You scout the territory northwest of B for 62m. You determineyou can build a flat trail here. This trail will end at point C. Usingan imaginary line due north from B you find the angle from B toC is 22°.How far north is Point C from Point B? 3. There is a hill at Point C, and you climb it to get an idea of whereto travel to next. You see the edge of a forest (Point D). Youclimb back down to the bottom of the hill (Point C) and walk toPoint D. You track your distance and find you have travelled98m. Using a tool you find the angle from Point D to…
