Chapter 3, Problem 68P

A bank in downtown Boston is robbed (see the map in Fig. 3-36). To elude police, the robbers escape by helicopter, making three successive flights described by the following displacements: 32 km, 45° south of east; 53 km, 26° north of west; 26 km, 18° east of south. At the end of the third flight they are captured. In what town are they apprehended?

A particle undergoes the following displacements: 3.50 m south, 8.25 m 45 degrees NE, 5.75m 34 degrees SW, and 10.5 m north. Find the resultant displacement (magnitude and direction) using the component method.

A woman walks 229m in the direction 39 degrees east of north, then 170m directly east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the angle (from due east) of her final displacement from the starting point. (c) Find the distance she walks. Needs Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.

CIA and NSA launched a hiring program to new agents: to crack the safehouse of the nuclear launch codes. They were given hacking tools and random displacement as a starting point. Agent 1 is directed to 70m, 254; Agent 2 is directed to 93m, 130 and Agent 3 to 63m due south. The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the key to the nuclear launch codes of the United States is kept. Two agents did not use their noggin’ and started measuring immediately, but the winner of the code first calculated where to go. What was the calculated resultant of the winner? Add solution.
