In a meeting of mimes, mime 1 goes through a displacementand mime 2 goes through a displacement. What are (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) the component ofalong the direction of? (Hint: For (d), see Eq.3-20and fig3-18.)

What are (a) the x component and (b) the y component of a vectorin the xyplane if its direction iscounterclockwise from the positive direction of the x axis and its magnitude is 7.3 m?
An explorer is caught in a whiteout (in which the snowfall is so thick that the ground cannot be distinguished from the sky) while returning to base camp. He was supposed to travel due north for 5.6 km , but when the snow clears, he discovers that he actually traveled 7.8 km at north of due east. (a) How far and (b) in what direction must he now travel to reach base camp?
Being part of the 鈥淕ators,鈥 the University of Florida golfing team must play on a putting green with an alligator pit. Figure 3-22 shows an overhead view of one putting challenge of the team; an xy coordinate system is superimposed. Team members must putt from the origin to the hole, which is at xy coordinates (8 m, 12 m), but they can putt the golf ball using only one or more of the following displacements, one or more times:The pit is at coordinates (8 m, 6 m). If a team member putts the ball into or through the pit, the member is automatically transferred to Florida State University, the arch rival. What sequence of displacements should a team member use to avoid the pit and the school transfer?
