2-D Displacement

1) Start at 1.5 km, E48S. Finish at 4.2 km, E32N. Calculate your displacement.













2) Fly from Detroit Metro Airport to San Francisco, to San Diego, then back to Lansing Capital City Airport. Lansing is 93 miles N57W from Detroit. Find your displacement.













3) If you were to travel from 3.5 km E25N to 6.8 km E53N, what would be your displacement?













4) Start at the origin of your coordinate system for this one. Move from the origin to 3.00 km 50.0º N of E. From there move 2.00 km 30.0º N of W. Determine the displacement from the origin.













5) Ready for three vectors? Again, start at the origin of your coordinate system. From there go to 8.5 km 25º S of E. Next, move 25 km 15º W of N. Finally, move an additional 35 km 65º W of N. What is your displacement from the origin?
