Question

I start walking. The 1^st leg of my trip I walk d_A = 150 m at θ_A = 18° south of east. The 2^nd leg of my trip I walk d_B = 105 m at θ_B = 17° north of east. On my final leg I walk d_C = 95 m at θ_C = 58° north of west. Choose the coordinate system so that x is directed towards the east, and y is directed towards the north. Part a) Write an expression for the x-component of the final displacement in terms of the given quantities. Part b) Write an expression for the y-component of the final displacement in terms of the given quantities. Part C) What is the magnitude of my placement vector (in meters) as measured from the origin? Part d) What is the angle of my displacement vector as measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis?
