In an attempt to escape his island, Gilligan builds a raft and sets to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and he is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km 45.0° north of west; then 4.20 km 60.0° south of east; then 1.50 km 25.0° south of west; then 5.30 km straight east; then 1.90 km 5.00° east of north; then 7.20 km 55.0° south of west; and finally 2.90 km 10.0° north of east. What is his final position relative to the island? (i.e., find the magnitude and direction of the displacement.) km at degrees South of East

A remote-controlled car is moving around in a level (horizontal) parking lot. The velocity of the car as a function of time is given by: 3 = [5.0m/s – (0.018m/s³)t²]î + [2.0m/s + (0.55m/s²)t]j where î and ĵ are unit vectors representing two perpendicular directions on the horizontal ground (think of them as the East and North directions, if that helps you). b). What are the magnitude and direction of the car's velocity at t = 8.0 s? c). What are the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration at t = 8.0 s? (Don't be intimated by the velocity function! Look at the î and ĵ components, and work each component separately to begin with, before combining components together to get any resultant vectors, if needed.)

A golf ball is hit upward, with an initial velocity of 47 meters per second, at an angle of 25° with respect to the horizontal. The ball is hit from a height of 8 meters above the ground. The horizontal distance x from the starting point and the height y above the ground of the ball t seconds after it is hit are given by the parametric equations below. x=(v0cosθ)t y=−4.9t^2+(v0sinθ)t+h Here v0 is the initial velocity, θ is the initial angle with respect to the horizontal, and h is the initial height. Use the equations to answer the following questions. (a)How long is the ball in the air before it first touches the ground?Do not round any intermediate computations. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. _____ seconds (b)What is the horizontal distance the ball travels before it first touches the ground?Round your answer to the nearest whole number. _____ meters
