Two racing boats set out from the same dock and speed away at the same constant speed of 93.9 km/h for half an hour (0.500 h), the blue boat headed 29.0° south of west, and the green boat headed 38.7° south of west. During this half-hour (a) how much farther west does the blue boat travel, compared to the green boat, and (b) how much farther south does the green boat travel, compared to the blue boat? Express your answers in km. W

A sailboat sets out from the U.S. side of Lake Erie for a point on the Canadian side, 97.0 km due north. The sailor, however, ends up 56.0 km due east of the starting point. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (west of due north) must the sailor now sail to reach the original destination?
On a fine Sunday afternoon, you went malling at the Mall of Asia. Starting from the parking lot, you traveled 240 m in the direction 32 degrees south of east and reached the IMAX theater and watched a movie. After watching a movie, you decided to return back to the parking lot but took different route. From the IMAX theater you traveled a distance X in the direction 48 degrees north of west and a distance Y in the direction 62 degrees south of west and reached the parking lot. What are the magnitudes of distances X and Y?
Problem 6: Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 16° south of west then you walk 22.5 m in a direction exactly 42° west of north. Part (a) How far are you from your starting point, in meters? ✓ Correct! R = 32.59256 R=32.59 degrees? Part (b) What is the angle of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured North of West in 0=1
Suppose you walk 25.5m in a direction exactly 36° west of north and then walk 15 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west. How far are you from your starting point in m?
A car is driven east for a distance of 48 km, then north for 30 km, and then in a direction 26° east of north for 21 km. Determine (a) the magnitude of the car's total displacement from its starting point and (b) the angle (from east) of the car's total displacement measured from its starting direction.
Suppose you walk 14.5 m in a direction exactly 19° south of west then you walk 22 m in a direction exactly 39° west of north. Repeat the problem by finding your distance from the starting point in m, but reverse the order of the two legs of the walk. That is, you first walk leg B, which is 22 m in a direction exactly 39 degrees west of north, and then leg A, which is 14.5 in a direction 19 degrees south of west. Please explain how you got your answer in detail.
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.1 km, but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 8.4 km at 46° north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction (south of due west) must he now travel to reach base camp? (a) Number i 34.99 (b) Number 1.48 Units Units km ° (degrees)
