Question
1. Where to go?
Diego was travelling 5.00 [km], 60° N of E, then 7.00 [km], 45° S of E, and then 8.00 [km], 30° N of E.
At the end of this trek, he realized that in the last leg he should have travelled 5.00 [km], 30° W of N
instead of the third path he originally took.
A. In component form, what path should Diego take to reach his supposed destination?
B. Diego now travelled the path you calculated in A. In component form, what now is his
displacement from his initial position?
C. Having found treasure, Diego called for an airlift. The airlift is located 50 [km], S, from
his initial position. In magnitude-bearing form, determine the path the airlift must take to reach
Diego.
