A golfer was able to shoot the ball in the hole after three putt: 6 m North, then 2.4 m at an angle of 25° north of east and 3.1 m 18° west north. What displacement (magnitude and direction relative to due east) would have been needed to "hole the ball" on the very first putt?

It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d, = 4.10 m the north, d, = 1.80 m northeast, and d, = 1.10 m at e = 30.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively.

At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 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 55.0 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? yards (b) What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 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?
A hockey player faces the goal, which is 15.0 m in front of him (due north). Instead of trying to make a direct shot, the player passes the puck to a teammate who is 6.00 m away in a direction 30.0° to the right of the direction to the goal. What ﬁnal displacement is needed to score a goal?
