On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Find the components of its velocity. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. I understand the quadrant, and origin but not how to then figure components of airplane's velocity. Can you simply get me up to the speed?

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).
At one point in space, the direction of the electric field vector Is given In the Cartesian system by the unit vector . If the magnitude of the electric field vector is E=400.0V/m , what are the scalar components , and of the electric field vector at this point? What is the direction angle of the electric field vector at this point?
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
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
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x -axis is horizontal to the right.
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 162 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 42.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude ____ft direction _____° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Suppose you first walk 12.5 m in a direction 20° west of north and then 25.5 m in a direction 40° south of west as shown in the figure. What is the component of your displacement in the y-direction, in meters? What is the angle of a line connecting your starting position to your final position, measured South of West, in degrees?
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x-axis is horizontal to the right.
Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 22 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north. Repeat the problem by finding your distance from the starting point in m, but reverse the order of the two legs of the walk. That is, you first walk leg B, which is 22 m in a direction exactly 39 degrees west of north, and then leg A, which is 14.5 in a direction 19 degrees south of west. Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
Proceeding from landmark A, a vehicle moves along city streets 10 km north, then 14.2 km northeast, and finally 2 km south, and arrives at landmark B. What is the distance traveled, and the magnitude of the displacement between the two landmarks? From the previous problem, what angle east of north does the displacement vector lie?
