Assignment 1

Chapter 3 : Vectors

1. A car is driven 125 km due west, then 65 km due south. What is the magnitude of its
displacement?

2. A shopper walks from the door of the mall to her car 250 m down a lane of cars, then
turns 90° to the right and walks an additional 60 m. What is the magnitude of the car
from the mall door?

3. A hiker walks 4.5 km in one direction, then makes a 45° turn to the right and walks
another 6.4 km. What is the magnitude of her displacement?

4. An airplane flies due north at 235 km/h with respect to the air. There
is a wind blowing at 65 km/h to the northeast with respect to the
ground. What are the plane’s speed and direction with respect to the
ground?
5. Calculate the resultant vector.
