Problem 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. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) Given A = 50 m NE m B = 180 m 72° NW m C = 150 m S m m Resultant m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = With a direction of e = O NW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = OSE m EE

3. A pilot is flying to a destination 230 km south of her current position. An air traffic controller tells her that the wind velocity (as seen on the ground) is 37 km/h [E25 °N]. She knows that the plane's speed is 281 km/h. a) Sketch the overall vectors of the plane to the ground, the plane to the air and the air to the ground. Write the equation for the velocity of the plane relative to the ground with the appropriate subscripts. b) Determine the heading of the plane (in what direction must the pilot fly to compensate for the wind?). Show your work. Label your vectors and label x and y components. c) How long will it take her to reach her destination if she goes at constant velocity with the heading you determined above? (Should it take longer or less time than with no wind?) d) How long would it take her to reach her destination if she went at constant velocity and there was no wind'?

One day, Sofia goes hiking at a nearby nature preserve. At first, she follows the straight, clearly marked trails. From the trailhead, she travels 2.00 miles down the first trail. Then, she turns 30.0° to the left to follow a second trail for 1.60 miles. Next, she turns 160.0° to her right to follow a third trail for 1.70 miles. At this point, Sofia is getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead her deeper into the woods. She would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods (ignoring the trails). What distance dsc does she have to walk to take a shortcut directly back to her starting point? Through what angle Osc should she turn to the right in order to take the shortcut directly back to her starting point? dsc= 0sc = miles
