A skier is traveling at 13 m/s while being 180 m high on a mountain. The skier goes over a jump at a height of 124 m on the mountain with an angle of 24° above the horizontal. The skier lands 16.0 m below the height of the jump. How far horizontally does the skier jump?
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 192 ft,then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 172 ft, then climbs 117 ft at an angle of 32.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 117 ft at an angle of 41.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude= ? ft direction = ?° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 127 ft at an angle of 42.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude direction 167.6 The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector which goes from the starting point to the ending point. You will need to measure this distance, and multiply by your scale factor. ft 367 Measure the angle from the +x-axis to the resultant vector (drawn from the starting point to the ending point). Remember that angles measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis are negative. counterclockwise from the +x- axis Need Help? Read It

L83. While following a treasure map, you start at an old oak tree. You first walk 825 m directly south, then turn and walk 1.25 km at 30.0° west of north, and finally walk 1.00 km at 40.0° north of cast, where you find the treasure: a biography of Isaac Newton! (a) To retum to the old oak trec, in what direction should you head and how far will you walk? Use components to solve this problem.
