A field biologist is studying the migration patterns of northern gannets (a type of seabird). On one particularday, she records that they fly 5.0 km northeast, then turn toward to the south of east by 30 degrees and fly 4.0 kmin the new direction. How far north or south of their original position are the birds?

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 plane flies 483 km east from city A to city B in 45.0 min and then 966 km south from city B to city C in 1.50 h. For the total trip, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the plane’s displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity, and (e) its average speed?

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 flock of ducks is trying to migrate south for the winter, but they keep being blown off course by a wind blowing from the west at 12 m/s. A wise elder duck finally realizes that the solution is to fly at an angle to the wind. If the ducks can fly at 16 m/s relative to the air, in what direction should they head in order to move directly south?

At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0 m due east of a park’s flagpole, going due south with a speed of 10.0 m/s.Then 30.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 10.0 m/s.
