On the map, let the +x-axis point east and the +y-axis north. An airplane flies at 880 km/h northwestward direction (i.e., midway between north and west). Find the components of its velocity. Enter the x and y components of the velocity separated by a comma. I understand the quadrant, and origin but not how to then figure components of airplane's velocity. Can you simply get me up to the speed?

A trapper walks a 5.0-km straigt4ine distance from his cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Use a graphical method (the parallelogram rule) to determine the trapper’s displacement directly to the east and displacement directly to the north that sum up to his resultant displacement vector. If the trapper walked only in directions east and north, zigzagging his way to the lake, how many kilometers would he have to walk to get to the lake?
A trapper walks a 5.0-lan straight-line distance from her cabin to the lake, as shown in the following figure. Determine the east and north components of her displacement vector. How many more kilometers would she have to walk if she walked along the component displacements? What is her displacement vector?

A commuter airplane starts from ar. airport and takes the route shown in Figure P3.19. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a direction 30.0 north of east. Next, it flies for 150 km 20.0 west of north, to city B. Finally, the plane flies 190 km due west, to city C. Find the location of city C relative to the location of the starling point. Figure P3.19

You fly 32.0 km in a straight line in still air in the direction 35.0 south of west. (a) Find the distances you would have to fly due south and then due west to arrive at the same point. (b) Find the distances you would have to fly first in a direction 45.0south of west and then in a direction 45.0 west of north. Note these are the components of the displacement along a different set of axes-namely, the one rotated by 45 with respect to the axes in (a).

You drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 25° East of North. a. Find the distances (in km) you would have to drive straight East and then straight North to arrive at the same point. (This is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the East and North directions.) b. Show that you still arrive at the same point if the East and North legs are reversed in order.

5.You start at the origin on an ay plane. You walk 20 meters at an angle of 25 degrees north of the +x axis. After that, you turn, then walk 20 metors at an angle 45 degrees north of the +x axis. Finally, you turn and walk 10 meters at an angle 15 degrees south of the +x axis. Your friend, still at the origin, walks in a straight line to you in the fastest route. What angle do thoy take, and how many moters do they go?
