Proceeding from landmark A, a vehicle moves along city streets 10 km north, then 14.2 km northeast, and finally 2 km south, and arrives at landmark B. What is the distance traveled, and the magnitude of the displacement between the two landmarks?
From the previous problem, what angle east of north does the displacement vector lie?
As shown in the diagram below, a soccer player kicks a ball directly toward the goal along a displacement vector r, which has a length of 7.2 m and a direction 30 degrees east of south. Alternatively, she could have kicked it
to a second player standing directly in front of the goal along a displacement r, who could have then kicked it to the goal along a displacement vector r, as shown. Find the magnitudes and directions of r, and r,

- A radar station, located at the origin of xy plane, as shown in (Figure 1), detects an airplane coming straight at the station from the east. At first observation (point A), the position of the airplane relative to the origin is RÃ. The position vector RA has a magnitude of 360 m and is located at exactly 40° above the horizon. The airplane is tracked for another 123° in the vertical east-west plane for 5.0 s, until it has passed directly over the station and reached point B. The position of point B relative to the origin is RB (the magnitude of RB is 880 m). The contact points are shown in the diagram, where the x axis represents the ground and the positive y direction is upward.
