DIRECTION: Solve this problem by using vector addition. (Show your complete solution) A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45 degrees east of south, and then 280 m at 30degrees east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement.

A trapper walks a 5.0-lan 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?
Suppose you walk 18.0 m straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point? What is your displacement vector? What is the direction of your displacement? Assume the +x -axis is horizontal to the right.
A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
Carolyn rides her bike 40.0 south of west for 5.40 miles as illustrated in Figure P3.25. What is the distance she would have to ride due south and due west to reach the same location?
A pedestrian walks 6.0 km east and then 13.0 km north. Use a graphical method to find the pedestrian’s resultant displacement and geographic direction.
An adventurous dog strays from home, runs three blocks east, two blocks north, and one block east, one block north, and two blocks west. Assuming that each block Is about a 100 yd, use the analytical method to find the dog’s net displacement vector, its magnitude, and Its direction. Assume the +x-axis is to the east. How would your answer be affected if each block was about 100 m?
Check Your Understanding For the vectors given in Figure 2.13, find the scalar products AB and CF . The three displacement vectors A , B , and C in Figure 2.13 are specified by their magnitudes A=10.0,B=7.0 and C=8.0 , respectively, and by their respective direction angles with the horizontal direction =35,=110 , and =30 . The physical units of the magnitudes are centimeters. Choose a convenient scale and use a ruler and a protractor to find the following vector sums: (a) R=A+B , (b) D=AB , and (c) S=A3B+C .

Please don't reject I req to u solve for me ok. Topic: Vector 1. A spelunker is surveying a cave. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then210 m in a direction east of south, and then 280 m at east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Use a scale drawing to determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. Solve only clean handwriting ok must. that's the only information that was provided
