2. A surveyor surveys an unknown cave. She follows a passage 180m straight west, then 210m in a direction 45° E of S, and then 280m at 30° E of N. What is the surveyor's displacement? How far did she travel after the first 3 displacements?

A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)
A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0 above the horizontal with an initial speed of 100. m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s along its initial line of motion with an acceleration of 30.0 m/s2. At this time, its engines fail and the rocket proceeds to move as a projectile. Find (a) the maximum altitude reached by the rocket, (b) its total time of flight, and (c) its horizontal range.

A bear searching for food wanders 35 meters East then 20 meters North. Frustrated, he wanders another 12 meters West then 6 meters South. What are the bear's displacement and direction? And why?
A flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 12 m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?
