Three players on a reality TV show are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and (in a different order for each contestant) the following three displacements: A=71 m 52.0° west of north B=59 m 26.0° south of west C=27.8m due south The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two players start measuring immediately, but the winner first calculates where to go. What does she calculate?

Problem 3: Walking around Three players on a reality TV show are brought to the center of a large, flat field. Each is given a meter stick, a compass, a calculator, a shovel, and the following 3 displacements in order: A: 72.4 m, 32° east of north, B: 57.3 m, 36° south of west, C: 17.8 m due south. y (th) 17,8m C 32.0 57.3 m B 36.0 A 724 m The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the keys to a new Porsche are buried. Two of the players take the brown path, following the three displacements in order. However, the winner calculates the net displacement of all three vectors together (vector R) and follows the blue path, getting there faster than the other two contestents. For each calculation in the following questions, keep at least 2 decimal places for each value. (east)
Two displacement vectors when added produce a resultant vector of magnitude 50.0 km pointing 60.00 north of east. One displacement vector is 30.0 km in a direction 40.00 north of west. What is the other displacement vector? 20.0 km in a direction 63.40 north of east 53.7 km in a direction 63.40 north of east 20.0 km in a direction 63.40 north of east 53.7 km in a direction 26.60 north of east

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.
A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 8 meters straight west, then 68 meters in a direction of 45° east of north and then 204 meters at 30° east of south. How far and in what direction must she walk further to go back to the starting point? Use component method.
