27. Two bicyclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the samecampground by two diff erent routes. One cyclist rides 1080 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before reaching thecampground. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1950 mand then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) At the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground? (b) In whatdirection (measured relative to due east) must the second cyclist headduring the last part of the trip?

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?
