6. One afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 1.50 km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) What is the distance they travel? (b) What are the magnitude and direction (relative to due east) of the couple's displacement?

In 1999, Robbie Knievel was the first to jump the Grand Canyon on a motorcycle. At a narrow part of the canyon (69.0 m wide) and traveling 35.8 m/s off the takeoff ramp, he reached the other side. What was his launch angle?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east. Use the analytical method to find the resultant vector of all her displacement vectors. What is its magnitude and direction?

5. A ball is thrown following a projectile motion, it is known that the horizontal distance (range) the ball can travel is given by R= sin 24, where r is the range (in feet), vy is the initial speed (in ft/s), B is the angle of elevation the bal is thrown, and g=32 ft/s? is the acceleration due to gravity. a. Express the new range in terms of the original range when an angle 8 (0< @ < 45°) is doubled. b. If a balt travels a horizontai distance of 20 t when kicked at an angle of a with initial speed of 20/2 fus, find the horizontal distance it can travel when you double z. Hint: use result of item (a).
