Answer 3 and 4 A. VECTORSGRAPHICAL METHODSolve for the following:1. A plane flying due north at 100m/s is blown due west at 50m/s by a strongwind. Find the plane's resultant velocity.2. A salesperson leaves the office and drives 26km due north along a straighthighway. A turn is made onto a highway that leads in a direction 30* northof east. The driver continues on the highway for a distance of 62 km andthen stops. What is the total displacement of the sales person from theoffice?3. A weather team releases a weather balloon. The balloon's buoyancyaccelerates it straight up at 15m/s. A wind accelerates it horizontally at6.5m/ s What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant acceleration?4. Alvin noticed the mark of an ant on the tabletop. He determined the ant'sdisplacement by using a ruler and protractor. The displacements were asfollows: 2cm east; 3.5cm, 32 north of east; and 2.3 cm, 22 west of north.
