A student bikes to school by traveling first N = 1.00 miles north, then W = 0.400 miles west, and finally S = 0.200 miles south.
a. If a bird were to start out from the origin (where the student starts) and fly directly (in a straight line) to the school, what distance would the bird cover?
b. Finally, find ϕ, the angle north of west of the path followed by the bird.
A. DRAWING AND ESTIMATING THE VECTOR COMPONENTS
Sketch the given vectors; determine the direction of the two components by circling two directions
(N, S, E or W). Finally indicate which component (or effect) is greatest in magnitude.
