Consider a map oriented so that the x-axis runs east-west (with east being the "positive" direction) and y runs north-south (with north "positive"). A
person drives 28 km to the north, turns and drives 73 km to the east, and then turns north and drives for an unknown distance z. If his final position
is 97 km from where he started, find z.
km
You drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 25° East of North.
a. Find the distances (in km) you would have to drive straight East and then straight North to arrive at the same point. (This is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the East and North directions.)
b. Show that you still arrive at the same point if the East and North legs are reversed in order.
Pr1. The speed of a cyclist along the horizontal road is 16 km/h, 12 km/h upward and 24 km/h
downward. Once the cyclist went from the village to the town, and it took 3 hours to get to the
town and to go back to the village. How far is the city from the village?
