52. A highway engineer is using a road map to lay out a detour for the westbound lane of a section of highway that, on the map, is a straight line going east and west. On the map, the detour goes 4 miles straight north, 1 mile straight west, 2 miles straight north, 6 miles straight west, 3 miles straight south, I mile straight east, and finally 3 miles straight south, back to the highway. According to the map, how many more miles will a westbound driver travel by taking the detour than he would if he could stay on the highway? F. 20 G. 14 Н. 13 12 J. K. 6.

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=

A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particular day, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30◦ and fly 4.0 km in the new direction. How far east of their original position are the birds?
A car travels 90 meters due north in 15 seconds. Then the car turns 32° west of north and travels 40 meters. What is the magnitude and direction of the car's resultant displacement? To answer this problem, what two methods will give us the accurate answer?
The pilot of a private plane flies 20.0 km in direction 60° north of east, then 30.0 km straight east, then 10.0 km straight north. How far and in what direction is the plane from the starting point? (Complete solution)
A biker travelled 270.0 meters 42degree N of E to point A, then 80.0 meters west to point B, and finally, 120.0 m northwest to reach point C. (a) How far and in what direction should he travel to go back to where he started? (Ans: 267.92 m, 82.32degree S of W) (b) From the starting point, how far and in what direction should he go to reach point B in a straight line? (Ans: 217.25 m, 56.26degree N of E
A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by x = 17.2t and y = 4.16t − 4.90t2, where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. (a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors î and ĵ. (Give the answer in terms of t.) = m By taking derivatives, do the following. (Give the answers in terms of t.) (b) obtain the expression for the velocity vector as a function of time = m/s(c) obtain the expression for the acceleration vector as a function of time = m/s2(d) Next use unit-vector notation to write expressions for the position, the velocity, and the acceleration of the golf ball at t = 3.18 s. = m = m/s = m/s2
Most days after lunch, I like to take a stroll around campus ( given it’s not too hot ). Suppose on this day, I walk 4.38 meters 53.50 degrees north-east. If I then walk another 3.24 meters north, how far will I have to walk in a straight line to get back to the physics building where I started?
To start an avalanche on a mountain, an artillery shell is fired from 1250 m from the base of the mountain at 300 m/s, 55.0°. What are its coordinates 9.0 seconds later? Where does it hit on the mountain? If you are unable to answer, draw a diagram showing why.
You are kidnapped by political-science majors (who are upset because you told them political science is not a real science). Although blindfolded, you can tell the speed of their car (by the whine of the engine), the time of travel (by mentally counting off seconds), and the direction of travel (by turns along the rectangular street system). From these clues, you know that you are taken along the following course: 50 km/h for 2.0 min, turn 90° to the right, 20 km/h for 4.0 min, turn 90° to the right, 20 km/h for 60 s, turn 90° to the left, 50 km/h for 60 s, turn 90° to the right, 20 km/h for 2.0 min, turn 90° to the left, 50 km/h for 30 s. At that point, (a) how far are you from your starting point, and (b) in what direction relative to your initial direction of travel are you?
Gabby works as an aerial photographer. On one trip she takes off from the airport and flies 52km on a bearing N46°E. She then turns and flies for 43km until she is due east of the airport. How far is Gabby from the airport when she is due east of it? Is there more than one answer, explain.
