A motorist drives south at 20.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 25.0 m/s for 2.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 30.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.00-min trip, find (a) the total vector displacement, (b) the average speed, and (c) the average velocity. Let the positive x axis point east.
A passenger walks from one side of a ferry to the other as it approaches a dock. If the passenger's velocity is 1.5 m/s due north relative to the ferry, and 4.5 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees west of north relative to the water, what are the magnitude and direction of the ferry's velocity relative to the water?
In the Mississippi river banks in Louisiana, a tug boat leaves a harbor and sails 5.0 km in the direction 45 degrees south of east, where the captain stops to pick up a small load of crabs. A short time later, the boat sails 1.0 km in the direction west. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement from the harbor?
The pilot of an aircraft flies due north relative to the ground in a wind blowing 80 km/h toward the east. If his speed relative to the air is 410 km/h, what is the magnitude of the velocity of his airplane relative to the ground? State the answer to the nearest tenth of the km/h.

An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter.
