I have no idea to how to start to this question: Wags (a dog) decides to go on a journey. He begins his journey by traveling 58 meters in a direction directly south. He then runs 100.0 meters in a direction 30◦north of west. During the last leg of his journey, he follows a scent for 59 meters in a direction 30◦east of north. What distance does Wags end up from his initial startingpoint?
Problem 1: A football is kicked from the ground at an angle of 0 = 59 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The ball is in the air for a time tm = 2.4 s before it lands back on the ground. Numerically, what is the total horizontal distance, dm in meters, traveled by the ball in the time, tm? Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression. dm =
Problem 1: An object is thrown off the top of a building with velocity 26 m/s at an angle of 35° with respect to the horizontal. It takes 7.1 s for the object to land. Part (a) How high is the building in meters? Numeric : Anumeric value is expected and not an expression. h = Part (b) What is the horizontal distance that the object travels in meters? Numeric : Anumeric value is expected and not an expression. Ax =
A cannonball was shot upward from a 50 meter tower. The cannonball traveled a total x displacement of 100 meters in 5.5 seconds before hitting the ground. What was the initial velocity of the cannonball in both magnitude and direction, in unit vector notation?
Problem 3: An object is thrown off the top of a building with velocity 32 m/s at an angle of 17° with respect to the horizontal.

A cannon is set to launch horizontally off of a cliff. You measure that it takes 5.19 s for the cannonball to land after it is launched, and that it lands 133.8 m from the cannon, measured horizontally. What is the initial speed of the cannonball (also known as the muzzle speed)? Include units in your answer.
A scout navigates an open terrain. He travels 50 m to the east, then 120 m to the north, then 30 m to the southwest. How far and in what direction should he travel in order to get back to his origin?
