= 3.98 m to the north, A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements of the ball are d₁ d₂ = 2.06 m northeast, and d3 = 1.16 m at 30.0° west of south (see the figure below). Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in what single displacement? magnitude direction WE S m o north of east d₂ d₁ 30.0° dz

A runner, jogging along a straight-line path, starts at a position 60.0 m east of a milestone marker and heads west. After a short time interval he is 15.7 m west of the mile marker. Choose east to be the positive x-direction. What is the runner’s displacement from his starting point? Enter a positive value if the displacement is toward east of the milestone and a negative value if the displacement is toward west of the milestone.

(a) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but for the second leg you walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° north of east (which is equivalent to subtracting B from A that is, to finding R=AB ). (b) Repeat the problem two problems prior, but now you first walk 20.0 m in a direction 40.0° south of west and then 12.0 m in a direction 20.0° east of south (which is equivalent to subtracting A from B that is, to finding R=BA=R ). Show that this is the case.
