1. One morning, Connie walks from her house to go to a store that is 500 ft, S 40° W from her house. She starts walking 120 ft, SW; then continues walking 100 ft, 10° S of E; then sees a friend who is 700 ft, 30° N of E from where she is. a) What is her friend's location, (magnitude and direction) relative to her house? (Ans. 667.54 ft, 21.79° N of E) b) From her friend's location, how far and in what direction should Connie walk to finally get to the store? (Ans. 1133.08 ft, 33.83°S of W)

A radar station sends a signal to a ship which is located a distance 14.0 kilometers from the station at bearing 136° clockwise from the north. At the same moment, a helicopter is at a horizontal range of 19.6 kilometers, at bearing 152° clockwise from the north, with an elevation of 2.58 kilometers. Let east be the î direction, north be the ĵ direction, and up be the direction. (A) What is the displacement vector (in km) from the helicopter to the ship? (Express your answer in vector form. Do not include units in your answer.) (B) What is the distance (in km) between the helicopter and ship? (C) The ship begins to sink at a rate of 5.40 m/s. Write the position vector (in km) of the ship relative to the helicopter as a function of time as the ship sinks. Assume that the helicopter remains hovering at its initial position and that the sinking rate remains the same even after the ship sinks under the surface. (Use the following as necessary: t.
