(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.
An aircraft undergoes two displacements. If the first displacement is directed at an angle of 225 with the positive x axis and has magnitude 30.0 miles, and if the resultant displacement is directed at an angle of 75.0 with the positive x axis and magnitude 22.0 miles, what are the magnitude and direction of the second displacement?

Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives 60 mimi north and 100 mimi east of her. She starts by driving east, but after 20 mimi she comes to a detour that takes her 15 mimi south before going east again. She then drives east for 8 mimi and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. 1. What is Ward's displacement vector? 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?
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 chimpanzee sitting against his favorite tree gets up and walks 30.2 m due east and 54.7 m due south to reach a termite mound, where he eats lunch. (a) What is the shortest distance between the tree and the termite mound? (b) What direction does the shortest distance make, as a positive angle with respect to due east?
Geese migrate along north and south directions for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases traveling speeds up to about 100 km/h. If one such bird is flying at 100km/h relative to the air but there is a 34.0 km/h wind blowing from the west to east. A.) at what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground? Express answer in degrees b.) how long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 500 km from north to south? ( Note: Even on cloudy nights many birds navigate using the earth's magnetic field to fix the north-south direction)
