You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in thedirection 35.0º south of west. (a) Find the distances youwould have to fly straight south and then straight west toarrive at the same point. (This determination is equivalent tofinding the components of the displacement along the southand west directions.) (b) Find the distances you would have tofly first in a direction 45.0º south of west and then in adirection 45.0º west of north. These are the components ofthe displacement along a different set of axes—one rotated45º
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.2 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.1 km at 45o north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp?
Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.53 m due east, then 0.89 m at 29o north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.54 m at 49o east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to the east direction in the range of (-180°, 180°)) of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?

An airplane leaves the runway heading south and flies for 2000km. It then heads 20 degree west to avoid a storm. After flying for 500km, it turns 40 degree toward the east and flies another 400km to its final destination. Calculate the displacement of the plane;s destination and the distance it travelled.
You wish to get to Target to purchase “high-quality” goods. To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies. Use your understanding of vectors todetermine how far and in which direction you should walk to get to Target.
