1. A rescue party for a missing child follows a search dog named Trooper. Trooper wanders around and makes trial sniffs along many different paths. Trooper eventually finds the child but his displacements on various legs seem to be truly convoluted. On one of the legs he walks 200.0 m southeast, and then he runs north some 300.0m. On the third leg, he examines the scents carefully for 50.0 m in the direction of 30 west of north On the fourth leg, Trooper goes directly south for 80.0 m. picks up a fresh scent and turns 23 west of south for 150.0 m. Find the scalar components of Trooper's displacementvectors and his displacement vector for each leg.

2) A postman was driving a motorcycle 9.0 km 50° North of East, then 11.0 km, 35° South of East, and another 12.0 km, 20° North of East before coming to a stop. Due to the unstable data connection of his mobile phone, he missed the address of the receiver. Instead of taking the last route, he should have driven 9.0 km, 20° West of North. i) Draw the path that the postman have driven. ii) Determine the path that the postman should have taken to arrive at the address of the receiver (x- and y- component) iii) Using the computed value on ii, determine the postman's displacement from his starting position.
Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. ...Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement.

A little turtle is placed at the origin of an xy-grid drawn on a large sheet of paper. Each grid box is 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm. The turtle walks around for a while and finally ends up at point (24, 10), that is, 24 boxes along the x-axis, and 10 boxes along the y-axis. Determine the displacement of the turtle from the origin at the point.
