A train leaving Albuquerque travels 293 miles, due east, to Amarillo. The train spends a couple of days at the station in Amarillo and then heads back west 107 miles where it stops in Tucumcari. Suppose the positive x direction points to the east and Albuquerque is at the origin of this axis. a. What is the total distance traveled by the train from Albuquerque to Tucumcari? b. What is the displacement of the train for the entire journey? Give both answers in appropriate SI units.
Two aircraft approaching an aircraft carrier are detected by radar. The first aircraft is at a horizontal distance of 34.3 km in the direction 42.0 north of east and has an altitude of 2.40 km. The second aircraft, at half this altitude, is at a horizontal distance of 42.6 km in the direction 37.0 north of east. What is the distance separating the two aircraft? Hint: Use a coordinate system with the x axis pointing east, the y axis pointing north, and the z axis in the vertical direction.
Figure P3.60 illustrates the difference in proportions between the male (m) and female (f) anatomies. The displacements d1m. and d1f from the bottom of the feet to the navel have magnitudes of 104 cm and 84.0 cm, respectively. The displacements d2m and d2f have magnitudes of 50.0 cm and 43.0 cm, respectively. (a) Find the vector sum of the displacements dd1 and dd2 in each case. (b) The male figure is 180 cm tall, the female 168 cm. Normalize the displacements of each figure to a common height of 200 cm and re-form the vector sums as in part (a). Then find the vector difference between the two sums. Figure P3.60

At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 55.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? yards (b) What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?
