Mr. Brown takes a walk in the park. He first travels 600. m NW and then turns and walks 800. m @ 20.0° WoS. What is his overall displacement of his walk? Use the triangle method to solve this. Should you use the component method, I will award zero points. I know the answer, I just don’t know how to get it. Answer: 771 m @ 25.1° SoW Thanks!!

Give your answer in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north. 2.What is the magnitude of Ward's displacement vector? 3. What is the direction of Ward's displacement vector?
Ranjeet parks his car in a lot on the corner of Park Lane and Main Street. He walks80 m east to First Avenue, turns 30° to the left, and follows First Avenue for 100 m tothe Metro Building, where he takes the elevator to his office on the 15th floor. Eachfloor in the building is 4 m in height. From his office window, Ranjeet can see his carin the lot. How far is Ranjeet from his car, in a straight line? At what angle ofdepression is Ranjeet looking to see his car?
Anwser ALL You are to make four straight-line moves over a flat desert floor, starting at the origin of an xy coordinate system and ending at the xy coordinates (−134 m, 26 m). The x component and y component of your moves are the following, respectively, in meters: (20 and 60), then (bx and −70.0), then (−20.0 and cy), then (−61.0 and −68.0). (a) What is component bx? (b) What is component cy? (c) What is the the magnitude of the overall displacement? (d) What is the angle of the overall displacement? ? counterclockwise from the +x-axis 2. A displacement vector r in the xy plane is 34 m long and directed at angle ? = 44° as shown below. Determine the x and y components of the vector. x component = y component=
