2. On a clear sunny day, you decided to roam around. You walk 200,0 m southeast, then run north for 300.0 m. You then decided to walk for 50.0 m in the direction 30° west of north. Out of confusion, you went south for 80.0 m, and turns 23° west of south for 150.0 m. Find (a) the scalar components of cach of your routes and (b) the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector.

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.

One day, Sofia goes hiking at a nearby nature preserve. At first, she follows the straight, clearly marked trails. From the trailhead, she travels 2.00 miles2.00 miles down the first trail. Then, she turns 30.0 degrees to the left to follow a second trail for 1.10 miles. Next, she turns 160.0 degrees to her right to follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. At this point, Sofia is getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead her deeper into the woods. She would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods (ignoring the trails). What distance ?SC does she have to walk to take a shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC= Through what angle ?SC should she turn to the right in order to take the shortcut directly back to her starting point? ?SC=

The coordinate axes are chosen such that the x axis is rotated clockwise by an angle θ= 45.6∘ below the horizontal, as shown. What is the x component, in meters per second, of the velocity vector, v→? What is the y component, in meters per second, of the velocity vector, v→?
as a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0 west of south. After specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock the winner is the person who takes the shortest tme to reach the location of the silver dollar. remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin how far and in what direction do you run?
