A roller coaster moves 2.00 102 ft horizontally and then rises 135 ft at an angle of 30.0 above the horizontal. Next, it travels 135 ft at an angle of 40.0 below the horizontal. Use graphical techniques to find the roller coasters displacement from its starting point to the end of this movement.
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 plane flies from base camp to Lake A, 280 km away in the direction 20.0 north of east. After dropping oil supplies, it flies to Lake B, which is 190 kin at 30.0 west of north from Lake A. Graphically determine the distance and direction from Lake B to the base camp.
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 due south and then due west to arrive at the same point. (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0south of west and then in a direction 45.0 west of north. Note these are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes-namely, the one rotated by 45 with respect to the axes in (a).
An air-traffic controller observes two aircraft on his radar screen. The first is at altitude 800 m, horizontal distance 19.2 km, and 25.0 south of west. The second aircraft is at altitude 1 100 m, horizontal distance 17.6 km, and 20.0 south of west. What is the distance between the two aircraft? (Place the x axis west, the y axis south, and the z axis vertical.)
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 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 small plane flies 40.0 km in a direction 60 north of east and then files 30.0 km in a direction 15 north of east. Use a graphical method to find the total distance the plane covers from the starting point and the direction of the path to the final position.
Ecotourists use their global positioning system indicator to determine their location inside a botanical garden as latitude 0.002 43 degree south of the equator, longitude 75.642 38 degrees west. They wish to visit a tree at latitude 0.001 62 degree north, longitude 75.644 26 degrees west. (a) Determine the straight-line distance and the direction in which they can walk to reach the tree as follows. First model the Earth as a sphere of radius 6.37 106 m to determine the westward and northward displacement components required, in meters. Then model the Earth as a flat surface to complete the calculation. (b) Explain why it is possible to use these two geometrical models together to solve the problem.
