Problem An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) Given A = 50 m NE m B = 180 m 72° NW m C = 150 m S m m Resultant m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = With a direction of e = O NW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = OSE m EE

A commercial jet sets its speed to 525 mph, and points its nose in the direction of 15 degrees west of north (-105 degrees from +x-axis). However, a strong jet stream is blowing at 110 mph at a direction of 20 degrees. The actual resultant velocity of the aircraft is the sum of these two vectors. a. Find the final velocity b. For this airspeed and wind velocity, find the angle west of due north that the nose will need to point in order for the final velocity to be due north.
