Vector C has a magnitude of 24.6 m and points in the -y-direction. Vectors A and B both have positive y-components, and make angles of a = 44.4° and ß = 26.7° Avith the positive and negative x-axis, respectively. If the vector sum A +B + C = 0, what are the magnitudes of A and A B? B a |A| = m |B| = m Figure is not to scale.
An old lady, to maintain her health during morning walk, covers three displacements. The first has a magnitude of 200 m and makes an angle of 110° with the positive x axis. She covers second displacement which has magnitude of 300 m at an angle of 20° west of south and then she covees third displacement. The resultant displacement has a magnitude of 420 m and is directed at an angle of 45.0° to the positive x axis.

Q2. A drone is used to spray pesticide in a farm. It covers (d1=30 m) towards south. Then it flies (d2=40 m) in a direction 350 east of south, then by changing its direction it covers a distance of (d3=50m) in the direction 650 east of north and finally it covers a displacement (d4=65m) in a direction of 300 south of west. Calculate total displacement (d) covered by the drone and its direction.
The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A,B ,c Cand . Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0° north of east. Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 41.0° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 10.0° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement is zero, or A+ B+ C = 0. Find the magnitudes of vector B and vector C .

A hiker walks 2.5 miles in a direction 65° West of North, then 3.5 miles in a direction 40° South of West, then 1.5 miles due South. What must be the vector displacement of the hiker during the fourth part of the trip in order for the resultant to be 5.5 miles due West for the entire trip? Drawing a vector diagram or drawing individual vectors will help.
