You take a walk in the park for 15 steps using a compass that points 25º North of East. How would you use the simulation to represent your path? Explain why the same representation works for illustrating this different scenario: You drive at 15 miles/hour using a compass that points 25º North of East. Write another scenario using different units that could also be represented the same.

You go on a hike with some friends. First, you travel 1.7 miles in a direction due west. Then, you spend some time checking Twitter and not paying attention to where you're walking. Once you look back up from your phone, you are at a ranger station that is 2.1 miles in a direction 27 degrees west of north from your starting point. How far, and in what direction, did you travel while checking Twitter?
Suppose you first walk 9.5 m in a direction 20.0° west of north and then 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° south of west. Part A: How far are you from your starting point in meters? Part B: What is the angle, in degrees, of the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position measured south of west? Part C: Repeat part A, but for the magnitude of the displacement in meters for the second leg where you walk 17.5 m in a direction 40.0° north of east. Part D: Repeat part A, but now you first walk 9.5m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 17.5 m in a direction 20.0° east of south
The polar coordinates of a point are 4π/34π/3 and 5.50 m. What are its Cartesian coordinates? A trapper walks a 5.0-km straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?
Three force vectors are added together. One has a magnitude of 9 N, the second one a magnitude of 18 N, and the third a magnitude of 15 N. What can we conclude about the magnitude of the net force vector? Explain using the CER framework (it might be helpful to draw some graphical representations to serve as evidence).
You found a treasure map and it said: Start at the well, go 100 m, straight south, then 30 m, 40° north of west, then 25 m, straight east, 10 m, south, 20 m, west, and finally 10 m, 75° south of east. Using the polygon and component methods of vector addition, how far from the well and in what direction is the hidden treasure. What is your total distance traveled in kilometers? Use the scale: 2 cm= 1 m
Spring break has just begun and Latonya boards a plane to visit her Grandma. Latonya flies 711.5 miles due East from City A to City B. After a short layover, Latonya flies 551.4 miles in a direction of 35.9° north of east from City B to City C. a. What is the magnitude of Latonya's resultant displacement between city A and city C? Resultant's magnitude miles b. What is the direction of Latonya's resultant displacement? Resultant's direction CCW from East Info Info Attempts: 0/00 Attempts: 0/00 Submit Submit
A surveyor measures the distance across a river that flows straight north by the following method. Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, the surveyor walks 100 m along the river to establish a baseline. She then sights across to the tree and reads that the angle from the baseline to the tree is 35° . How wide is the river?
DIRECTIONS: Perform addition of vectors through component method. Write your answers on a YELLOW PAPER or BOND PAPER. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use appropriate scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. What is the spelunker's displacement?
A circular racetrack has a radius of 500 m. What is the displacement of a bicyclist when she travels around the track from the north side to the south side? When she makes one complete circle around the track? Explain your reasoning.
Given the vector techniques you worked on in the lab, answer the follow question: suppose you first walk 12 m in a direction 20° west of north, then 20 m in a direction 40° south of west, then 14 m in a direction 30° east of north, and finally 19 m in a direction 40° east of south. How far are you (as the crow flies) from your starting point, and what is the compass direction (west of south) of a line connecting your starting point to your final position?
I need help on this problem: You are one block away from a skyscraper that is 780 feet tall. Your friend is between the skyscraper and yourself. The angle of elevation from your position to the top of the skyscraper is 42 degrees. The angle of elevation from your friend's position to the top of the skyscraper is 71 degrees. How far are you from your friend? Express your answer using the correct number of significant figures.
Starting in Albany, you travel a distance 101 miles in a direction 37.1 degrees north of west. Then, from this new position, you travel another distance 355 miles in a direction 10.2 degrees north of east. In your final position, what is your displacement from Albany? If the correct answer doesn't appear among the choices, choose the answer that has the correct distance and angle, even if the direction reference (north of east or north of west) is incorrect. a. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Westb. 246 miles 46.1 degrees North of Westc. 456 miles 47.3 degrees North of Eastd. 296 miles 24.7 degrees North of West
