While vacationing in the mountains you do some hiking. In the morning, your displacement is S→morning=(2000m, east )+(3000m, north )+(200m, vertical \()\). After lunch, your displacement is S→afternoon=(1500m, west )+(2000m, north )−(300m, vertical).

a. At the end of the hike, how much higher or lower are you compared to your starting point?

b. What is the magnitude of your net displacement for the day?

II You go to an amusement park with your friend Betty, who wants to ride the 30 -m-diameter Ferris wheel. She starts the ride at the lowest point of a wheel that, as you face it, rotates counter clockwise. What is her displacement vector when the wheel has rotated by an angle of 60°? Give your answer as a magnitude and direction.

Q.31.

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