From the picture, I see that you had no trouble at all with #4.
Well, #5, 6, and 7 are easily handled in exactly the same way.

Just as you did with #4, please sketch these on paper
as I walk you through the solutions. That'll help you see
immediately what's going on.

#5.b).
Traveling east at 3 m/s for 4 seconds,
he covers (3 m/s) x (4 sec) = 12 meters.

Traveling south at 5 m/s for 2 seconds,
he covers (5 m/s) x (2 sec) = 10 meters.

The total distance he covers is (12m + 10m) = 22 meters.

#5.c).
Average speed (scalar)

= (distance covered)/(time to cover the distance)

= (22 meters)/(6 sec) = 3-2/3 m/s .

#5.d).
Displacement (vector)

= distance between the start-point and the end-point,
regardless of the route traveled,

in the direction from the start-point to the end-point.

Distance from the start-point to the end-point =

√(12² + 10²) = √(144 + 100) = √(244) = 15.62 meters

in the direction of arctan(10/12) south of east

= 39.8° south of east.

#5.e).
Average velocity (vector) =

(displacement vector) / (time)

= 15.62 meters directed 39.8° south of east / 6 seconds

= 2.603 m/s directed 39.8° south of east.

#6).
Magnitude = √(5.2² + 2.1²) = √(27.04 + 4.41) = √31.45 = 5.608 km.

Direction = arctan(5.2/2.1) south of east

= 68° south of east = 158° bearing .

#7).
Magnitude = √(39² + 57²) = √(1521 + 3249) = √( 4770)

= 69.07 m/s .

Direction = arctan (57/39) south of west

= 55.6° south of west

Bearing = 214.4°

Compass: 0.65° past "southwest by south".


I'm grateful for the privilege and opportunity to practice my math,
and I shall cherish the bounty of 5 points that came with it.
