Ruth sets out to visit her friend Ward, who lives 60 mimi north and 100 mimi east of her. She starts by driving east, but after 20 mimi she comes to a detour that takes her 15 mimi south before going east again. She then drives east for 8 mimi and runs out of gas, so Ward flies there in his small plane to get her. 1. What is Ward's displacement vector? Give your answer in component form, using a coordinate system in which the y-axis points north. 2.What is the magnitude of Ward's displacement vector? 3. What is the direction of Ward's displacement vector?

A traveler is exploring an unfamiliar cave in the Northern Luzon. She follows a passage 180 m straight west, then 210 m in a direction 45° east of south, and then 280 m at 30° east of north. After a fourth unmeasured displacement, she finds herself back where she started. Draw the diagram following her path, then solve for the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement. You may also try drawing a scale diagram of the given vectors using your ruler and protractor, then measure the fourth displacement to check your quantitative answer.
Steve is driving in his car to take care of some lands. The first land has him driving to a location 2 km East and 6 km North of his starting location. Once he completes that land 1, he drives to the second land which is 4 km East and 2 km South of the first land. What is the magnitude and direction of the vector that describes how far the car has traveled from its starting point, rounded to the nearest km?
