(b) Would changes in the order in which the hiker makes the given displacements alter his final position? Explain.
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.
The same vectors that are shown in Figure P3.6 are shown in Figure P3.42. The magnitudes are F1 = 1.90f, F2 = f, and F3 = 1.4f, where f is a constant. a. Use the coordinate system shown in Figure P3.42 to find R=F1+F2+F3 in component form in terms of f. b. If Rx = 0.33, what is Ry? c. Check your result by comparing your answer to that of Problem 6.

(a) Another airplane is flying in a jet stream that is blowing at 45.0 m/s in a direction 20° south of east (as in Exercise 3.58). Its direction of motion relative to the Earth is 45.0° south of west, while its direction of travel relative to the air is 5.00° south of west. What is the airplane's speed relative to the air mass? (b) What is the airplane's speed relative to the Earth?
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).

(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
