The 18th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Course is a dogleg to the left of length 496.0 m. The fairway off the tee is taken to be the x direction. A golfer hits his tee shot a distance of 300.0 m initially in the x-direction, and hits his second shot 189.0 m with a displacement 172 m in the x and 80.3 m in the y-direction. What is the final displacement of the golf ball from the tee? A) 472i + 80.3j B 274i + 80.3j 472i + 83.0j 742i + 80.31

The 18th hole at Pebble Beach Golf Course is a dogleg to the left of length 496.0 m. The fairway off the tee is taken to be the x-direction. A golfer hits his tee shot a distance of 200.0 m, corresponding to a displacement Ar, 200.0 m î, and hits his second shot 190.1 m with a displacement Ar, 170.0 m î + 85.0 m j. What is the final displacement of the golf ball from the tee (in m)? (Express your %3D %3D answer in vector form.) Ar. total m
A novice golfer on the green takes four strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements are 4.00 m to the north, 2.00 m 440 north of east, 1.00 m 310 west of south and 5.00 m south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in what single displacement?
The figure shows the path taken by a drunk skunk over level ground, from initial point i to final point f. The angles are 01-32.0°, e2 = 49.0°, and 03 = 84.0°, and the distances are di 4.80 m, d2 = 7.30 m, and d3 = 10.0 m. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of the skunk's displacement from i to f? Give the angle as a positive (counterclockwise) or negative (clockwise) angle of magnitude less than 180°, measured from the +x direction. dz dg (a) Number 5.586 Units (b) Number 135 Units * (degrees)
A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive dis- placements are 6.6 m to the north, 5 m 45◦ north of east, and 6.6 m 17◦ west of south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert (lucky) golfer could make the hole in a single displacement. What is the magnitude of this single dis- placement? Answer in units of m.
Soccer player #1 is 5.76 m from the goal, as the figure shows. If she kicks the ball directly into the net, the ball has a displacement labeled. If, on the other hand, she first kicks it to player #2, who then kicks it into the net, the ball undergoes two successive displacements, y and x. What are the magnitudes of (a)x, and (b) Ay.

A ladybug is trying to get to a certain flower by following this path. She moves 23 cm to the left, then moves 33 cm at 35.3 degrees North of West (N of W) and then reaches the flower by moving 12 cm at 22.4 degrees North of East (N of E). What is the magnitude of her final displacement?
While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances in a hori- zontal plane. She goes 75.0 m north, 250 m east, 125 m at an angle u 5 30.0° north of east, and 150 m south. Find her resultant displacement from the cave entrance. Figure P3.21 suggests the situation but is not drawn to scale.
A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements are 3.9m to the north, 9.4 m 45° north of east, and 9.5m 50° west of south. Starting at the same initial point, an expert could make the hole in a single displacement. What is the magnitude of this single displacement in meters?
At a football game, imagine the line of scrimmage is the y-axis. A player, starting at the y-axis, runs 9.00 yards, back (in the −x-direction), then 15.0 yards parallel to the y-axis (in the −y-direction). He then throws the football straight downfield 40.0 yards in a direction perpendicular to the y-axis (in the +x-direction). What is the magnitude of the displacement (in yards) of the ball? Answer: 34.4 yards What if? The receiver that catches the football travels 67.0 additional yards at an angle of 45.0° counterclockwise from the +x-axis away from the quarterback's position and scores a touchdown. What is the magnitude of the football's total displacement (in yards) from where the quarterback took the ball to the end of the receiver's run? _______________________yards

A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims d1 = 74.3 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for d2 = 183.7 m, then follows a big grouper (a kind of fish) for d3 = 73.3 m in the direction θ = 43.9° north of east. Finally, she swims d4 = 193.4 m south.What is the straight-line distance between her initial and final positions in m?
