A bird embarks on the journey of winter migration from her nest. She starts by flying 65.0 km due south. She then heads 55.0 ̊ south of east for 45.0 km. She flies the last portion of her journey heading 35.0 ̊ south of west for 83.0 km. How far from the nest does the bird end up at the end of her journey?
Starting at the origin, a person walks 350 meters in a direction 30.0° South of20 West, then 570 meters in a direction 35.0° West of North. If the person now wishes to walk in a straight line back to the origin, what must be the magnitude and direction of the displacement?
