A quarterback takes the ball from the line of scrimmage, runs backward for 16 yards, then runs parallel to the line of scrimmage for 23 yards. At this point, he throws a 49 yards forward pass straight down field, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. What is the magnitude of the football’s resultant displacement? Answer in units of yards.

It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d1 = 4.20 m the north, d2 = 2.00 m northeast, and d3 = 1.10 m at ? = 35.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively. Give the magnitude of your answer in meters and the direction in degrees north of east.)
