A novice golfer in the green takes three strokes to dunk the ball. The successful displacement of the balls are d1=4.04m to the north, d2=1.96 m northeast, and d3=1.16m at 30.0° west of south. Starting at the initial point, an expert golfer could make this hole in what single displacement. Find the magnitude and direction north of east.

as a test of orienteering skills, your physics class holds a contest in a large open field. Each contestant is told to travel 20.8 m due north from the starting point, then 38.0 m due east, and finally 18.0 m in the direction 33.0 west of south. After specified displacements, a contestant will find a silver dollar hidden under a rock the winner is the person who takes the shortest tme to reach the location of the silver dollar. remembering what you learned in class, you run on a straight line from the starting point to the hidden coin how far and in what direction do you run?
