In wandering, a grizzly bear makes a displacement of 1701 m due west, followed by a displacement of 3065 m in a direction 25.5 ° north of west. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the displacement needed for the bear to return to its starting point? Specify the direction as a positive angle relative to due east.

Solutions

Expert Solution

The given problem based upon the concepts of displacement vector,vector addition and resolution in 2 dimensional plane.In general displacement vector drawn in the manner such that it's tail is at the starting point and the head of the vector is at ending point. or final point.with the help of these concepts the procedure to solve the given problem is as shown below::::

The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors , , and . Vector is along a measured trail and is 1360 m in a direction 16.0 ° north of east. Vector is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the direction is 27.0 ° east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector is 15.0 ° north of west. The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement...

In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.38 m/s, due west. This average velocity results because she hikes for 6.44 km with an average velocity of 2.52 m/s, due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.405 m/s, due east. How far east did she walk?
