4.

A sailor in a small sailboat encounters shifting winds. She sails 4.00 km east, then 5.50 km
southeast, then an additional distance in an unknown direction. Her final position is 5.80 km
directly east of the starting point. Find the magnitude and direction of the third leg of the journey.
(10 pts)

5. On a training flight, a student pilot flies from Lincoln,


Nebraska, to Clarinda, Iowa; then to St. Joseph,
Missouri; then to Manhattan, Kansas. The directions
are shown relative to north: 00 is north, 900 is east,
1800 is south, and 2700 is west, Figure 3. Use the
method of components to find a) the distance she has
to fly from Manhattan to get back to Lincoln; b) the
direction (relative to north) she must fly to get there.
Illustrate your solution with a vector diagram.
