A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m). (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P3.46. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled. Figure P3.46
After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16
A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 1.00 102 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline lo the tree is = 35.0 (Fig. P1.53). How wide is the river? Figure P1.53
Review. The biggest stuffed animal in the world is a snake 420 m long, constructed by Norwegian children. Suppose the snake is laid out in a park as shown in Figure P3.39, forming two straight sides of a 105 angle, with one side 240 m long. Olaf and Inge run a race they invent. Inge runs directly from the tail of the snake to its head, and Olaf starts from the same place at the same moment but runs along the snake. (a) If both children run steadily at 12.0 km/h. Inge reaches the head of the snake how much earlier than Olaf? (b) If Inge runs the race again at a constant speed of 12.0 km/h. at what constant speed must Olaf run to reach the end of the snake at the same time as Inge? Figure P3.39
Alishba wakes up late and runs to school, covering a distance of 2.55 km in a direction of [N200 E] as measured from her home. She then realizes that her friend Lydia has her homework and races over to his house 0.5 km away [W] from the school. The two friends then decide it’s not worth going to class late so they go off to the mall that is 2.8 km [W500 S]. a) What is Alishba’s total displacement? b) If the total time taken by Alishba to run to school then over to the friend’s house was 25 minutes, what was her average velocity?
Two people on bikes are separated by 350 meters. Person A starts riding north at a rate of 5 m/sec and 7 minutes later Person B starts riding south at 3 m/sec. At what rate is the distance separating the two people changing 25 minutes after Person A starts riding? O 3.45 O 15.99 7.996 4.55

1. A rescue party for a missing child follows a search dog named Trooper. Trooper wanders around and makes trial sniffs along many different paths. Trooper eventually finds the child but his displacements on various legs seem to be truly convoluted. On one of the legs he walks 200.0 m southeast, and then he runs north some 300.0m. On the third leg, he examines the scents carefully for 50.0 m in the direction of 30 west of north On the fourth leg Trooper goes directly south for 80.0 m. picks up a fresh scent and turns 23 west of south for 150.0 m. Find the scalar components of Trooper's displacement vectors and his displacement vector for each leg.
2. Barbara can swim at 4 Km/h in still water. She wishes to swim across a river to a point di- rectly opposite from where she is standing. The river is moving at a rate of 5 Km/h. Explain, with the use of a diagram, why this is not possible.
New York Rangers defenseman Daniel Girardi stands at the goal and passes a hockey puck 20 m and 45° from straight down the ice to left wing Chris Kreider waiting at the blue line. Kreider waits for Girardi to reach the blue line and passes the puck directly across the ice to him 10 m away. What is the final displacement of the puck? See the following figure.
A butterfly flies from the top of a tree in the center of a garden to rest on top of a red flower at the garden's edge. The tree is 6.0 mm taller than the flower, and the garden is 13 mm wide. Determine the magnitude of the butterfly's displacement.
