Onthe second you enjoyed the scenery so much you forgot to take note how far youhave walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km andin the direction 37° south of west, you found yourself in the base camp. Determineyour displacement during the second day of your trip. Use the scale 1.0 cm = 2.0km.3. A fathor pulls his child on a sled by pulling on a rope over his shoulder with a forceas much as 75 N directed along the rope that makes an angle of 30° with the ground.The icy ground exerts about 15 N frictional force on the sled. The combined weightof the sled and the child is about 180 N. Illustrate the concurrent forces on aCartosian plane and compute for the resultant force (magnitude and direction) on thesled.1. As it passes Grand Bahamas Islands, the eye of the hurricane Katrina is moving in adirection of 60° north of west at a speed of 50 kph. Three hours later, it shifts duenorth where its speed slows to 25 kph. How far from the Grand Bahamas is the eyeof the hurricane 4.5 hrs. after it passes over the island?

As a horse and wagon are accelerating From rest, the horse exerts a force of 400 N on the wagon (Figure 2.56), Illustrating Newton's third law, the wagon exerts an equal and opposite force of 400 N. Because the two forces are in opposite directions, why don't they cancel each other and produce zero acceleration (i.e., no motion)?
