- A novice golfer takes four strokes to sink the ball in the golf course. The first three successive displacements are 40 m to the north, 20 m 44 degrees north of east and 10 m 59 degrees SW. If an expert golfer could make the hole in just a single displacement of 55 m 60 degrees NE, what must be the fourth displacement of the ball of the novice golfer? Use the component method.

1. Hurricane Iota is considered the strongest hurricane in history to hit Nicaragua. As Iota passed over Nicaragua, the eye of the hurricane moved with a velocity of 235 km/h in a direction 35.0" south of east. The course of the hurricane then shifts direction, 25.5° north of east with a velocity of 249 km/h. Determine: a) The resultant velocity in unit vector notation, b) The magnitude of the resultant velocity, and c) The direction of the resultant velocity vector.

An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.3 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.4 km at 46° north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp? (a) Number i Units km (b) Number i Units ° (degrees)
one day you go hiking at a nearby nature preserve. at first, you follow the straight, clearly marked trails. from your starting point, you travel 2.00 miles down the 1st trail. then you turn to your left by 30.0 degrees to follow a 2nd trail for 1.40 miles. next, you turn to your right by 160 degrees and follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. at this point you are getting very tired and would like to go back. you would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. how far to your right should you turn, and how far do you have to walk, to go directly back to the darting point. what degree turn to the right must "I" take, and how many miles must I walk back? I know the distance is 2.104 miles, but I cannot figure out the degree angle.
An airplane is travelling at 620 km/h on a heading of 305°. The wind of 80 km/h is flowing from a bearing of 260º. Determine the ground velocity of the boat. You can use trigonometry method or rectangular components method, but the final answer needs to be written in the same form as the original question.

Windis blowing at 40 miles per hour from the south.a) What is the projection of the wind vector in the direction the airplaneis headed?b) What is the projection of the wind vector in the directionperpendicular to the direction the airplane is headed?
You take a three-day hiking. On the first day, you travel 5.0 km heading east. On the second you enjoyed the scenery so much you forgot to take note how far you have walked and in what direction. On the third day, after wandering for 8.5 km and in the direction 37 degree south of west, you found yourself in the base camp. Determine your displacement during the second day of your trip. Use the scale 1.0 cm = 2.0 km.
