1. A cyclist pedals 12km[W5.0°S], stops for a quick Gatorade, then continues for another 8.3km[S11°W] until her tire goes flat. She walks to a gas station by travelling 5.5km[E25°N]. Arriving at the gas station, she realizes she started her trip 91:00 minutes ago. a. Determine the total displacement of the cyclist, using components of vectors. b. Determine the average velocity of the cyclist throughout her trip. c. Determine the average speed of the cyclist from the start, until she arrives at the gas station. 2. As a jet nears the runway at 348km/h[W30°Down], the pilot decides it may not be safe to land. She pulls up and 8.06 seconds later, the jet is heading 325km/h[W35°Up]. Determine the average acceleration of the jet, including the direction of acceleration.

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.

Review. You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60 103 m. At time t = 0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0=7.60103m. At t = 30.0 s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04103i+7.60103j)m as suggested in Figure P3.31. Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t = 45.0 s. Figure P3.31
A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18

You are standing on the ground at the origin of a coordinate system. An airplane flies over you with constant velocity parallel to the x axis and at a fixed height of 7.60∗10 3m. At time t=0, the airplane is directly above you so that the vector leading from you to it is P0 =7.60∗10 3j^ m. At t=30.0s, the position vector leading from you to the airplane is P30=(8.04∗10 3i^+7.60∗10 3j^ )m . Determine the magnitude and orientation of the airplanes position vector at t=45.0s.
