Problem An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 50 m northeast, next 180 m at 72° north of west, and then 150 m due south. Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter. Solution By vector-component approach, we list down the given in a table as follows: x-component (w/ sign direction) y-component (w/ sign direction) Given A = 50 m NE m B = 180 m 72° NW m C = 150 m S m m Resultant m Thus, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = With a direction of e = O NW Therefore, the vector needed for him to successfully get back home is Rhome = OSE m EE

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.
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, = 4.20 m the north, d, = 2.10 m northeast, and d, = 1.10 m at 6 = 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. Give the magnitude of your answer in meters and the direction in degrees north of east.) N dz dz W- E 'p magnitude m direction o north of east
v sin 20 gives the distance x travelled (in feet) by a projectile launched from 32 The formula r% = the ground, with initial velocity v (in feet/sec) and initial angle 0 (in radians or degrees). a. Write an expression for the total differential in x. b. Use the total differential to estimate the error in calculating the range of a projectile with initial velocityv 100 ft/sec and initial angle 0= 50 degrees, with measurement errors of dv = t10 ft/sec (for velocity) and d6==5 degrees (for the initial angle). (Note: remember to use radians for the differential in 0.)

An ant undergoes three successive displacements: ?⃗1=3.00 m,20.0 degrees south of east ?⃗2=2.00 m,north ?⃗3=7.00 m,35.0 degrees west of south a) Carefully sketch and label the three displacements with their tails at the origin. Use a coordinate system in which the positive x-axis is east and the positive y-axis is north. b) Calculate the x-and y-components of each of the displacements. c) Use the results of part b) to calculate the distance between where the ant begins and where it ends. d) What fourth displacement (magnitude and direction) is necessary to return the ant to its initial position?

A cannonball is shot with an initial speed of 66 m/s and 37.0º angle with respect to the ground. How long does it take for the ball to reach its the maximum height, in seconds? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
