You decide to walk from your home to your friend's house. He lives 164 meters away from you at an angle 59° South of East.What is the eastern component of your displacement?[______] mWhat is the southern component of your displacement?[______] mExplanation: This question involves breaking down a vector into its components. The vector in this problem is the displacement from your home to your friend’s house. Since your friend lives 164 meters away at an angle of 59° South of East, you can use trigonometry to find the eastern and southern components of this displacement:- **Eastern Component**: Use the cosine of the angle. - Eastern = 164 * cos(59°)- **Southern Component**: Use the sine of the angle. - Southern = 164 * sin(59°)The boxes are provided for calculating and entering the respective component distances in meters.

Given data: Displacement (d) = 164 m Angle (θ) = 59° South of East Required: The Eastern and…

A little turtle is placed at the origin of an xy-grid drawn on a large sheet of paper. Each grid box is 1.0 cm by 1.0 cm. The turtle walks around for a while and finally ends up at point (24, 10), that is, 24 boxes along the x-axis, and 10 boxes along the y-axis. Determine the displacement of the turtle from the origin at the point.
Can you please help with this question i’m extremely stuck, thank you so much!!

Sydney, Tayler and I go out for a short walk together. We first walked 10 meters 34° South of East, then 20 meters due South, and then 15 meters 42° South of West. We want to find the overall resultant vector of our total travels.
The treasure map in the figure gives the following directions to the buried treasure: "Start at the old oak tree, walk due north for 550 paces, then due east for 150 paces. Dig." But when you arrive, you find an angry dragon just north of the tree. To avoid the dragon, you set off along the yellow brick road at an angle 60∘ east of north. After walking 400 paces you see an opening through the woods. a) Which direction should you go to reach the treasure? b) How far should you go to reach the treasure?
A Freshman MSU student tours around the MSU campus. From the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM), he walks 300 m, 25° N of W towards the administration building, then he walks for 450 m, 67° W of S reaching the College of SPEAR. From the College of SPEAR, he walked for another 180 m, 59° S of E to be able to reach the College of Business Administration and Accountancy. In order for the student to return to his starting point (which is the CNSM), how far must he walk and in what direction?
