Given the two vectors A = ( 5.5i - 3j) and B = (-9i - 8j) determine the following: A. Vector C = A + B in vector notation, it's magnitude and its direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis. B. Vector D = A - B in Vector notation, it's magnitude and its direction counterclockwise from the +x-axis.
You are wondering how high that hawk is, surveying your back yard from a perch at the top of an oak tree toward the back property line. Remembering that you learned about vectors in physics, you measure off two components of a vector from your feet to the bird. Let "x" be parallel to the back of your house, and "y" perpendicular to the house out to the base of the tree. The vector to the bird would be (x, y, z). If x is 49 and y is 70 meters, what would z be in meters such that the angle from your feet to the bird is 45 degrees?
Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 22 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north. How far are you from your starting point in m? Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
A Red Cross helicopter takes off from headquarters and flies 115 km in the direction 195° from North.It drops off some relief supplies, then flies 135 km at 350° from North to pick up three medics.If the helicoper then heads directly back to headquarters, find the distance and direction (rounded to one decimal place) it should fly. The direction should be in degrees from north.

Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 93.9 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), the blue boat headed 29.0° south of west, and the green boat headed 38.7° south of west. During this half-hour (a) how much farther west does the blue boat travel, compared to the green boat, and (b) how much farther south does the green boat travel, compared to the blue boat?

Question 16 If a plane moves along horizontally at 797.5 km/h and down at -30.4 km/h, what is the angle with respect to horizontal at which the plane is flying? Report to two decimal points. Note that the angle below the horizontal should be reported as a negative number because it's in the fourth quadrant. A negative number, in this case, means X degrees lower than the horizontal.
