SVS is running an outdoor skills competition. The race is made up of three different events that Involve a swim, a climb, and a zip line. You begin at point S. The finish is at point F, which is 200m from S in a direction 65° north of west. The first part of the race is a 600m swim to an island, B, due west of S. The second part is a climb up a vertical cliff to point C. Point C is at an angle of elevation of 10°, as seen from point S. The third part is a zip down a zip line from point C to the finish at point F. You can swim at 1.5m/s. climb at 0.75m/s, and zip at 15m/s. a) Label all points S, B, C and F on the dlagram below. [C1] b) How long (in minutes) will it take to complete the race?

Ima Genius is walking from physics to math class. She exits the physics lab and walks 72 meters NW. She stops at a drinking fountain, then continues walking NW for another 67 meters. What is the magnitude and direction of Ima's displacement? (It may help to draw the vectors.) Ima's displacement is: Ax unit %3D Direction:
Trent is running along a circular track that has a radius of 45 meters. Trent starts at the 3-o'clock position and travels in the CCW direction, stopping after 106 meters. Imagine an angle with a vertex at the center of the circular track that subtends the path Trent has traveled. When Trent stops, what is his vertical distance from the center of the track?

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.

Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 101 miles in a direction 37.1 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 355 miles in a direction 10.2 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? If the correct answer doesn't appear among the choices, choose the answer that has the correct distance and angle, even if the direction reference (north of east or north of west) is incorrect. a. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Westb. 246 miles 46.1 degrees North of Westc. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Eastd. 296 miles 24.7 degrees North of West

You wish to get to Target to purchase “high-quality” goods. To get toTarget from your current location, Google tells you to walk in a straightline for 1.35 km at an angle of 40.0◦south of east. Before going to Target,however, you want to grab a slice of pizza and then get some coffee. Thepizza place is 0.54 km from you at an angle of 60.0◦south of west. Fromthe pizza parlor, you must walk 2.1 km due east to get coffee. Just afteryou buy coffee, your phone dies. Use your understanding of vectors todetermine how far and in which direction you should walk to get to Target.

One day, Sofia goes hiking at a nearby nature preserve. At first, she follows the straight, clearly marked trails. From the trailhead, she travels 2.00 miles down the first trail. Then, she turns 30.0° to the left to follow a second trail for 1.60 miles. Next, she turns 160.0° to her right to follow a third trail for 1.70 miles. At this point, Sofia is getting very tired and would like to get back as quickly as possible, but all of the available trails seem to lead her deeper into the woods. She would like to take a shortcut directly through the woods (ignoring the trails). What distance dsc does she have to walk to take a shortcut directly back to her starting point? Through what angle Osc should she turn to the right in order to take the shortcut directly back to her starting point? dsc= 0sc = miles
