Solve the following problem using analytical techniques: Suppose you walk 17.5 m straight west and then 25.5 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point, and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? (If you represent the two legs of the walk as vector displacements A and B, as in the figure below, then this problem asks you to find their sum R = A + B. Give the direction in degrees north of west.) magnitude direction B A R Ꮎ m A+B=R north of west W N S E

can i have the answer to this table using degree + direction (EX. 20degrees East) Thank you very much! (P.S sorry i didn't upload the picture)
Given the vector techniques you worked on in the lab, answer the follow question: suppose you first walk 12 m in a direction 20° west of north, then 20 m in a direction 40° south of west, then 14 m in a direction 30° east of north, and finally 19 m in a direction 40° east of south. How far are you (as the crow flies) from your starting point, and what is the compass direction (west of south) of a line connecting your starting point to your final position?
You go on a long hike by first walking 25 km southeast (i.e., 45° south of east) from your car. You then stop and camp for the night. On the second day, you walk 40 km in a direction 60° north of east. In what direction, as measured from the position of your car, is your final position? (Give your answer to the nearest degree.)
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)
It takes a golfer three strokes to get a golf ball into a hole. On the first hit, the ball moves 6.0 m to the east. On the second hit, it moves 2.9 m at an angle of 20 ° north of east. On the third hit, it moves 0.50 m to the north. If the golfer had struck the ball directly into the hole in one stroke, what would have been the magnitude (in m) and the direction of the ball's displacement? Indicate direction as a positive angle measured counterclockwise from east.
Margaret walks into the store using the following path: 0.870 mi west, 0.330 mi north, 0.140 mi east. Assume north be along the positive y axis and west be along the negative x axis. What is the magnitude of her total displacement? In what direction is the displacement vector? Enter the answer as an angle north of west.
one afternoon, a couple walks three-fourths of the way around a circular lake, the radius of which is 2.56 km. They start at the west side of the lake and head due south to begin with. (a) what is the distance they travel? (b) the magnitude of the couple's displacement? (c) what is the direction(relative to due east) of the couple's displacement?
Suppose you walk 27.5 m straight east and then 17.5 m straight south. How far are you from your starting point (in m)? m What is your displacement vector (in m)? (Express your answer in vector form. Assume the +x-axis is to the east, and the +y-axis is to the north.) D = m What is the direction of your displacement (in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis)? ° counterclockwise from the +x-axis

Windis blowing at 40 miles per hour from the south.a) What is the projection of the wind vector in the direction the airplaneis headed?b) What is the projection of the wind vector in the directionperpendicular to the direction the airplane is headed?
A hiking girl needs to go 59.3 km straight North to get to base camp, instead the compass confuses her and she travels 33.208 km at a 4.9° deflection East from straight North. Then she realizes what she has done and so guesses an angle of 18.4° deflection West of straight North and then hikes 46.254 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement from where she is now located to base camp. (put your answer is standard units)
