A Freshman MSU student tours around the MSU campus. From the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), he walks 300 m, 25° N of W towards the administration building, then he walks for 450 m, 67° W of S reaching the College of SPEAR. From the College of SPEAR, he walked for another 180 m, 59° S of E to be able to reach the College of Business Administration and Accountancy. In order for the student to return to his starting point (which is the CNSM), how far must he walk and in what direction?

Concept explainers

Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

A Freshman MSU student tours around the MSU campus. From the
College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), he walks 300
m, 25° N of W towards the administration building, then he walks for
450 m, 67° W of S reaching the College of SPEAR. From the College
of SPEAR, he walked for another 180 m, 59° S of E to be able to reach
the College of Business Administration and Accountancy. In order for
the student to return to his starting point (which is the CNSM), how far
must he walk and in what direction?
