As she picks up her riders, a bus driver traverses four successive displacements represented by the expression (6.30 b)i (4.00 b cos 40)i (4.00 b sin 40)j + (3.00 b cos 50)i (3.00 b sin 50)j (5.00 b)j Here b represents one city block, a convenient unit of distance of uniform size; i is east; and j is north. The displacements at 40 and 50 represent travel on roadways in the city that are at these angles to the main east-west and north-south streets, (a) Draw a map of the successive displacements, (b) What total distance did she travel? (c) Compute the magnitude and direction of her total displacement. The logical structure of this problem and of several problems in later chapters was suggested by Alan Van Heuvelen and David Maloney, American Journal of Physics 67(3) 252-256, March 1999.
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.

A U.S. Coast Guard Response Boat leaves Charleston, South Carolina at 2:30 p.m. heading due east at an average speed of 25 knots (nautical miles per hour). At 4:30 p.m., the boat changes course to N 17°E. At 9:00 p.m. what is the boat's bearing and distance from Charleston, South Carolina? Round all units to the nearest hundredth.
A ball kicked from ground level at an initial velocity of 68 m/s and an angle θ with ground reaches a horizontal distance of 295 meters. What is the size of angle θ and what is time of flight of the ball?a. θ = 17.223⁰, t = 8.44 sb. θ = 19.372⁰, t = 4.6 sc. θ = 18.263⁰, t = 9.3 sd. θ = 16.273⁰, t = 7.3 s
A jetliner can fly 4.8 hours on a full load of fuel. Without any wind, it flies at a speed of 2.68 x102m/s. The plane is to make a round trip by heading due west for a certain distance, turning around, and then heading due east for the return trip. During the entire flight, however, the plane encounters a 69.9 m/s wind from the jet stream, which blows from west to east. What is the maximum distance that the plane can travel due west and just be able to return home?
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?
