A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 160 m straight west, then 230 m in a direction 45degree east of south, and then 280 m at 30 degree east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started.
In the next sets, you are given the magnitude and one component. There is an ambiguity in determining the vector, because you can only determine the absolute value of the other component and not its sign; therefore, there are two possibilities. In these tables, you must enter the absolute value of the component and provide two angles for the vector, the first one assuming the other component is positive and the other assuming the component is negative. You must also provide two angles for the antiparallel vector in the same order.

An unsuspecting bird is coasting along in an easterly direction at 1.00 mph when a strong wind from the south imparts a constant acceleration of 0.500 m/s². If the wind's acceleration lasts for 2.50 s, find the magnitude r and direction 0 (measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction) of the bird's displacement over this time interval. Assume that the bird is originally travelling in the +x direction and that there are 1609 m in 1 mi. r = = Now, assume the same bird is moving along again at 1.00 mph in an easterly direction, but this time, the acceleration given by the wind is at a o = 30.0° angle to the original direction of motion, measured counterclockwise from the easterly direction. If the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.600 m/s², find the displacement vector 7 and the angle of the displacement 01. Enter the comnonents of the vector, r. and r.. and the angle. Assume the time interval is still 2.50 s.
