The biggest stuffed animal in the world is a snake 420 m long, constructed by Norwegian children. Suppose the snake is laid out in a park as shown in the figure below, forming two straight sides of a 95 angle, with one side 165 m long. Olaf and Inge run a race they invent. Inge runs directly from the tail of the snake to its head, and Olaf starts from the same place at the same time but runs along the snake.

In the sport of orienteering, participants must plan carefully to get from one checkpoint to another in the shortest possible time. In one case, starting at a particular checkpoint, Sam decides to take a straight path that goes west for 500 meters, and then go northeast for 500 meters on another straight path to reach the next checkpoint. Northeast, by the way, means 45 degrees to both north and east. Between the same two checkpoints, Mary decides to take the shortest distance between the two checkpoints, traveling off the paths through the woods instead. (a) What is the distance that Mary travels between the checkpoints? (Note that Sam travels a total distance of 1000 m, although his speed is probably significantly higher than Mary's.) 387.30 V m (b) In what direction does Mary go? Specify her direction as a positive angle, measured counterclockwise from east. 22.5

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.46 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as the origin, and use a Cartesian coordinate system with the positive x axis pointing to 3 o'clock and the positive y axis pointing to 12 o'clock. Write the vector that describes the displacement of a fly if it quickly goes from the tip of the minute hand to the tip of the hour hand at 3:00 P.M. (Let D represents the displacement of the fly.) D = 0.46 |× mî+ -0.26 Let the +y direction be straight up and the +x direction be to the right. Recall the definition of displacement, and remember that positions are vector quantities.

one day you go hiking at a nearby nature preserve. at first, you follow the straight, clearly marked trails. from your starting point, you travel 2.00 miles down the 1st trail. then you turn to your left by 30.0 degrees to follow a 2nd trail for 1.40 miles. next, you turn to your right by 160 degrees and follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. at this point you are getting very tired and would like to go back.   you would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. how far to your right should you turn, and how far do you have to walk, to go directly back to the darting point.       what degree turn to the right must "I" take, and how many miles must I walk back?       I know the distance is 2.104 miles, but I cannot figure out the degree angle.

One afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.91 km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) What is the distance they travel? (b) What is the magnitude of the couple's displacement? (c) What is the direction (relative to due east) of the couple's displacement? (a) Number Units (b) Number i Units (c) Number i Units

one afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.56 km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) what is the distance they travel? (b) the magnitude of the couple's displacement? (c) what is the direction(relative to due east) of the couple's displacement?

At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 55.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball?  yards (b) What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?

A map suggests that Atlanta is 730 miles in a direction of 5.00° north of east from Dallas. The same map shows that Chicago is 560 miles in a direction of 21.0° west of north from Atlanta. Figure P 3.22 shows the locations of these three cities. Modeling the Earth as flat, use this information to find the displacement from Dallas to Chicago.
