At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 9.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 60.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 60.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?

Vectors A treasure map shows a path from the hanging tree to walk to find the buried treasure. It reads to start at the hanging tree and north 7.5 meters. The map then says to turn and walk 9.8 meters at 30 degrees north of east, then walk south 1.4 meters, and finally walk west 38.0 meters. Once at this position, the map says to turn east and walk 14.0 more meters, then turn north and walk 12.0 more meters, and finally to turn due west and walk 6.0 meters. There you will find the treasure!(a) Being a physicist, you want to get rid of all the steps and walk right to the treasure. What is the magnitude of the displacement you would walk if you walked directly to the treasure alongthe line of the resultant?
