Vector Addition
1. A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km 45.0° south of east from her base camp. On
the second day she walks 40.0 km in a direction 60.0° north of east, at which point she
discovers a forest ranger’s tower. (a) Determine the components of the hiker’s displacements
in the first and second days. (b) Determine the components of the hiker’s total dis placement
for the trip. (c) Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement from base camp. (10
points)

2. A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 2.00 km east, then 3.50
km southeast, and then an additional distance in an unknown direction. Her final position is
5.80 km directly east of the starting point. Find the magnitude and direction of the third leg
of the journey. (10 points)
