An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 202 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 137 ft at an angle of 40.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude ft direction Need Help?

One of the largest Ferris wheels in the world stands over 32 stories high and holds more than 550 passengers. The Ferris wheel has a diameter of 136 meters and takes approximately 17 minutes to make a full circle. Determine the speed of riders (in m/s) on the edge of the Ferris wheel.
The F-35A, one of the U.S. Air Force's latest fifth-generation fighter was taken 160 km away from the terminal with a speed of 30. km/h and released. The F-35A returned back to the terminal after 4 days. If we place the origin at the terminal and extend the +x-axis to the release point. With that, what is the distance traveled by the F-35A for the entire trip, the F-35A’s average speed in m/s for the entire trip, the F-35A’s average velocity in m/s for the return flight, and the F-35A’s average velocity in m/s for the entire trip?
