On a fine Sunday afternoon, you went malling at the Mall of Asia. Starting from the parking lot, you traveled 240 m in the direction 32 degrees south of east and reached the IMAX theater and watched a movie. After watching a movie, you decided to return back to the parking lot but took different route. From the IMAX theater you traveled a distance X in the direction 48 degrees north of west and a distance Y in the direction 62 degrees south of west and reached the parking lot. What are the magnitudes of distances X and Y?

Question

On a fine Sunday afternoon, you went malling at the
Mall of Asia. Starting from the parking lot, you traveled
240 m in the direction 32 degrees south of east and
reached the IMAX theater and watched a movie. After
watching a movie, you decided to return back to the
parking lot but took different route. From the IMAX
theater you traveled a distance X in the direction 48
degrees north of west and a distance Y in the direction
62 degrees south of west and reached the parking lot.

To get out of the harbor, a container ship sails at a bearing of 240° for 6 km before changing direction due north. If the container ship travels 15 km north from where it changed direction, what is the bearing of the ship relative to the starting point in the harbor?
Suppose you walk 25.5m in a direction exactly 36° west of north and then walk 15 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west. How far are you from your starting point in m?

You walk 200 feet west and 100 feet north to bury your treasure chest. But when you return to dig it up, you will be in a hurry and should walk straight to it. Determine the angle you should walk, relative to due west and the distance.
Vectors A treasure map shows a path from the hanging tree to walk to find the buried treasure. It reads to start at the hanging tree and north 7.5 meters. The map then says to turn and walk 9.8 meters at 30 degrees north of east, then walk south 1.4 meters, and finally walk west 38.0 meters. Once at this position, the map says to turn east and walk 14.0 more meters, then turn north and walk 12.0 more meters, and finally to turn due west and walk 6.0 meters. There you will find the treasure!(a) Being a physicist, you want to get rid of all the steps and walk right to the treasure. What is the magnitude of the displacement you would walk if you walked directly to the treasure alongthe line of the resultant?

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.
Suppose a person walks so that their displacement is represented by a vector that has a magnitude of 52m (vector A). The direction of that initial displacement is 31 degrees north of east. After that, the person then walks 15 m due west (vector B). Use trig to calculate the east and north components of the first displacement, vector A.
Sydney, Tayler and I go out for a short walk together. We first walked 10 meters 34° South of East, then 20 meters due South, and then 15 meters 42° South of West. We want to find the overall resultant vector of our total travels.
A ferry transports tourists among three islands. It sails from the first island to the second island, 5.84 km away, in a direction 37.0° north of east. It then sails from the second island to the third island in a direction 58.5° west of north. Finally, it returns to the first island, sailing in a direction 28.0° east of south. (a) Calculate the distance between the second and third islands. Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 10%. Double check your calculations. km (b) Calculate the distance between the first and third islands. km
A hiking girl needs to go 39.2 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 17.248 km at a 3.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 17.8° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 30.576 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
