A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction 5.00c north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction 21.0 west of north from Atlanta. Figure P3.18 shows the location of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago. Figure P3.18
A commuter airplane starts from ar. airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.19. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0 north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0 west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starling point. Figure P3.19
Figure P3.28 illustrates typical proportions of male (m) and female (f) anatomies. The displacements d1m and d1f from the soles of the feet to the navel have magnitudes of 104 cm and 64.0 cm. respectively. The displacements d2m and d2f from the navel to outstretched fingertips have magnitudes of 100 cm and 86.0 cm, respectively. Find the vector sum of these displacements d3=d1+d2 for both people. Figure P3.28
Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20° west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in Figure 3.56, then this problem finds their sum R=A+B. )
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B as in Figure 3.55, then this problem asks you to find their sum R=A+B .)
A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes the route shown in Figure P1.71. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0 north of east. Next, it flies for 150. km 20.0 west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190. km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starting point.

1. The eye of a hurricane passes over Grand Bahama Island in a direction 60.0◦ north ofwest with a speed of 41.0 km/h. Three hours later the course of the hurricane suddenlyshifts due north, and its speed slows to 25.0 km/h. How far from Grand Bahama isthe hurricane 4.50 h after it passes over the island? 2. Two vectors ˙a and ˙b have equal magnitudes of 4 units. They are oriented as shown in the figure below and their vector sum is ˙r. Find a. the x and y components of ˙r, b. the magnitude of ˙r, and c. the angle ˙r makes with the positive x-axis.
1.1 An aircraft flies on a 110° course at a constant speed of 525 km/h. If the wind speed vector is from 40 km/h to 210°, what is the aircraft's speed vector? (Shows the diagram of velocity vectors with respect to the North.)
9 A small plane flies at 294 km/h in still air. If the wind blows directly out of the west at 27.7 km/h, how long does it take her to reach a point 466.1 km directly north of her starting point? Answer upto 2 dp
Three short flights takes an airplane to its final destination which is a city 500 km due 70^o south of east from the home airport. These trips are: 600 km east, 300 km south and a third unknown displacement. Using the graphical (polygon) method and a scale factor of 1 cm : 100 km, determine the magnitude and direction of the third displacement.
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?
