A sailboat under auxilary power is proceeding in the direction N 25° W at 6 (25° West of North) miles per hour. A tail wind is blowing 15 mph in the direction S 35° E (35° East of South). Which of the following is the component vector for the resultant vector that considers both the sailboat and the tail wind?

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)

A hiking girl needs to go 59.3 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 33.208 km at a 4.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 18.4° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 46.254 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)

You are wondering how high that hawk is, surveying your back yard from a perch at the top of an oak tree toward the back property line. Remembering that you learned about vectors in physics, you measure off two components of a vector from your feet to the bird. Let "x" be parallel to the back of your house, and "y" perpendicular to the house out to the base of the tree. The vector to the bird would be (x, y, z). If x is 49 and y is 70 meters, what would z be in meters such that the angle from your feet to the bird is 45 degrees?
