At one instant a bicyclist is 40.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 11.0 m/s. Then 37.0 s later, the cyclist is 40.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 11.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 37.0 s interval, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the displacement, the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average velocity, and the (e) magnitude and (f) direction of the average acceleration? (Give all directions as positive angles relative to due east, where positive is meaured going counterclockwise.)
An airplane undergoes the following displacements: First, it flies 66 km in a direction 30° east of north. Next, it flies 49 km due south. Finally, it flies 100 km 30° north of west. Using vector components, determine how far the airplane ends up from its starting point. A test rocket is fired straight up from rest with a net acceleration of 20.0 m/s2 upwards. After 4.00 seconds the motor turns off, but the rocket continues to coast upward with no appreciable air resistance (deaccelerating). What maximum elevation does the rocket reach during its flight H DELL O W
A football player runs for a distance d1 = 7.17 m in 1.08 s, at an angle of θ = 41 degrees to the 50-yard line, then turns left and runs a distance d2 = 10.66 m in 1.62 s, in a direction perpendicular to the 50-yard line. The diagram shows these two displacements relative to an x-y coordinate system, where the x axis is parallel to the 50-yard line, and the y axis is perpendicular to the 50-yard line.What is the magnitude of the total displacement, in meters? What angle, in degrees, does the displacement make with the y axis? (Note that the angle θ was given as measured from the x axis rather than the y axis.) What is the magnitude of the average velocity, in m/s? What angle, in degrees does the average velocity make with the y axis? (Note that the angle θ was given as measured from the x axis rather than the y axis.)

Oasis A is 90 km due west of oasis B. A desert camel leaves A and takes 50 h to walk 75 km at 37° north of due east. Next it takes 35 h to walk 65 km due south. Then it rests for 5.0 h. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the camel’s displacement relative to A at the resting point? From the time the camel leaves A until the end of the rest period, what are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of its average velocity and (e) its average speed? The camel’s last drink was at A; it must be at B no more than 120 h later for its next drink. If it is to reach B just in time, what must be the (f) magnitude and (g) direction of its average velocity after the rest period?

In an assembly operation illustrated in Figure P3.30, a robot moves an object first straight upward and then also to the cast, around an arc forming one-quarter of a circle of radius 4.80 cm that lies in an east-west vertical plane. The robot then moves the object upward and to the north, through one-quarter of a circle of radius 3.70 cm that lies in a north-south North vertical plane. Find (a) the magnitude of the total dis- placement of the object and (b) the angle the total displacement makes with the vertical. East Figure P3.30
