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
A hiker walks from (x1, y1) = (4.00 km. 3.00 km) to (x2, y2) = (3.00 km, 6.00 km), (a) What distance has the traveled? (b) The hiker desires to return to his starting point. In what direction should he go? (Give the angle with respect to due cast.) (See Sections 3.2 and 3.3.)
You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in the direction 35.0° south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to fly straight south and then straight west to arrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the south and west directions.) (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0° south of west and then in a direction 45.0° west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes—one rotated 450°.
