In the figure, a radar station detects an airplane approaching directly from the east. At first observation, the airplane is at distance d₁-320 m from the station and at angle 0₁ - 44° above the horizon. The airplane is tracked through an angular change A0-123⁰ in the vertical east-west plane; its distance is then d₂-750 m. Find the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the airplane's displacement during this period. Give the direction as an angle relative to due west, with a positive angle being above the horizon and a negative angle being below the horizon.

While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances in a hori- zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south. Find her resultant displacement from the cave entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.
At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 8.50 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 55.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? yards (b) What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 64.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run?
A GPS tracking device is placed in a police dog to monitor its whereabouts relative to the police station. At time t₁ = 23 min, the dog's displacement from the station is 1.2 km, 33° north of east.

It takes a golfer a total of three strokes to put the ball in the hole. The displacements of the three strokes are as follows: d, = 3.80 m the north, da = 2.10 m northeast, and d, = 1.10 m at 0 = 30.0° west of south, as shown in the figure. If the golfer had made the hole in a single shot, what would be the displacement of the ball? (Assume the positive y- and x-axes are in the north and east directions, respectively.
