A minivan travels straight north in the right lane of a divided highway at 28.0 m/s. A camper passes the minivan and then changes from the left lane into the right lane. As it does so, the camper’s path on the road is a straight displacement at 8.50° east of north. To avoid cutting off the minivan, the north–south distance between the camper’s back bumper and the minivan’sfront bumper should not decrease. (a) Can the camper be driven to satisfy this requirement? (b) Explain your answer.
A student drives his car 6.0 km, North before making a right hand turn and driving 6.0 km to the East. Finally, the student makes a left hand turn and travels another 2.0 km to the north. What is the magnitude of the overall displacement of the student?
In the Mississippi river banks in Louisiana, a tug boat leaves a harbor and sails 5.0 km in the direction 45° south of east, where the captain stops to pick up a small load of crabs. A short time later, the boat sails 1.0 km in the direction west. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement from the harbor?
