You drive 7.50 km in a straight line in a direction 25° East of North. a. Find the distances (in km) you would have to drive straight East and then straight North to arrive at the same point. (This is equivalent to finding the components of the displacement along the East and North directions.) b. Show that you still arrive at the same point if the East and North legs are reversed in order.

A commercial jet sets its speed to 525 mph, and points its nose in the direction of 15 degrees west of north (-105 degrees from +x-axis). However, a strong jet stream is blowing at 110 mph at a direction of 20 degrees. The actual resultant velocity of the aircraft is the sum of these two vectors. a. Find the final velocity b. For this airspeed and wind velocity, find the angle west of due north that the nose will need to point in order for the final velocity to be due north.
