Dora the explorer went inside a cave. She follows a passage
180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 450 east of south,
and then 280 m at 300 east of north. After a fourth displacement, she finds
herself back where she started.
a) Determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement.
Express direction in terms of N,E,W,S cardinal directions.
b) Draw a sketch (with labels of magnitude and direction) of Dora’s
journey.
A plane leaves the airport in Big City and flies 170 km at 68.00 east of north; then
it changes direction to fly 230 km at 36.00 south of east, after which it makes an
immediate emergency landing in a pasture. When PAW Patrol sends out a rescue
crew, in which direction and how far should they fly to go directly to this plane?
Express direction in terms of the cardinal directions.
