An aircraft undergoes two displacements. If the first displacement is directed at an angle of 225 with the positive x axis and has magnitude 30.0 miles, and if the resultant displacement is directed at an angle of 75.0 with the positive x axis and magnitude 22.0 miles, what are the magnitude and direction of the second displacement?
3. You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still alr in the direction 35° south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to point. (This determination is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the south and west directions.) (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0° south of west and then in a direction 45.0° west of north. These are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes-one rotated 45°. straight south and then straight west to arrive at the same 4.

1. You are trying to find your family's hidden treasure by your ancestor using a map. The map says that starting from your house, first, you need to walk 3.00m, East. After that, you again walk 3.00m, 60O N of E. Then go 2.00m North. And finally move 4.00m, 300 S of W. If the treasure's location is the resultant vector. Find the magnitude and direction of the treasure. (Use component method)
