A big boulder has a mass of 8.20t (metric tons) and rests at a coal mine site. The boulder is blown up with explosives into 3 parts, all the 3 parts move horizontally in the xy plane. The biggest part (mass 3.3 t) travels west at a speed of 3m/s. The second part (mass 2.7t) moves at 2m/s in a direction 25.0 degrees south of east. What is the speed and direction of the third boulder part?

Check Your Understanding Verify that vector v V obtained in Example 2.14 is indeed a unit vector by computing its magnitude. If the convoy in Example 2.8 was moving across a desert flatland—that is, it the third component of its velocity was zero—what is the unit vector of its direction of motion? Which geographic direction does it represent?
In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day, and she is blown along the following straight lines: 2.50 km and 45.0 north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0 south of east, then 130 km and 25.0 of west, then 5.10 km due east, then 1.70 km and 5.00 east of north, then 7.20 km and 55.0 south of west, and finally 2.80 km and 10.0 north of east.
