2. You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading east. 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 father 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 aCartesian plane and compute for the resultant force (magnitude and direction) on thesled.

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53

Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives 60 mimi north and 100 mimi east of her. She starts by driving east, but after 20 mimi she comes to a detour that takes her 15 mimi south before going east again. She then drives east for 8 mimi and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. 1. What is Ward's displacement vector? Give your answer in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north. 2.What is the magnitude of Ward's displacement vector? 3. What is the direction of Ward's displacement vector?
Mr. M is walking to Mr. T’s house. He takes a short cut across an open field. His first displacement is 140m [E35N]. He then walks 200.0m [E]. What is Mr. M’s total displacement? (320m [E14N])
A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage that takes her a distance 190 m straight west, then a distance 219 m in a direction 45.0 degrees east of south, then a distance 290 m at 30.0 degrees, east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement she finds herself back where she started.

While vacationing in the prairie you go on a nature walk. First you walk 260 m south, then a coyote chases you 180 m southwest, then you walk 140 m in a direction 30° east of north. First draw an accurate graphical representation of your motion using a ruler and a protractor. Then use either trigonometry or components to find the displacement (in m) that will return you to your starting point by the most direct route.
