A helicopter takes off and travels forward at an angle of 59.4o above horizontal. After following this path for 294 meters, the pilot changes the angle of flight to 10.5o above horizontal and follows this path for 849 meters. After these two legs, what is the helicopter’s horizontal distance from the point of take off? 408 m 985 m 447 m 964 m

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 202 ft, then climbs 137 ft at an angle of 34.0° above the horizontal. It then moves 137 ft at an angle of 40.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.) magnitude ft direction Need Help?
