An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 192 ft,then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 33.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 137 ft at an angle of 48.0° 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.)

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 152 ft, then climbs 127 ft at an angle of 31.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 127 ft at an angle of 42.0° 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 direction 167.6 The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector which goes from the starting point to the ending point. You will need to measure this distance, and multiply by your scale factor. ft 367 Measure the angle from the +x-axis to the resultant vector (drawn from the starting point to the ending point). Remember that angles measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis are negative. counterclockwise from the +x- axis Need Help? Read It
Physics Question: Two bicyclists , starting at the same place , are riding toward the same campground by two different routes. One cyclist rides 1080 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before reaching the campground. The second cyclist starts out by heading due north for 1950 m and then turns and heads directly toward the campground. (a) At the turning point , how far is the second cyclist from the campground ? (b) In what direction (measured relative to due east) must the second cyclist head during the last part of the trip ?

one day you go hiking at a nearby nature preserve. at first, you follow the straight, clearly marked trails. from your starting point, you travel 2.00 miles down the 1st trail. then you turn to your left by 30.0 degrees to follow a 2nd trail for 1.40 miles. next, you turn to your right by 160 degrees and follow a third trail for 1.90 miles. at this point you are getting very tired and would like to go back. you would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods. how far to your right should you turn, and how far do you have to walk, to go directly back to the darting point. what degree turn to the right must "I" take, and how many miles must I walk back? I know the distance is 2.104 miles, but I cannot figure out the degree angle.
Can you go step by step.
