Question

If a person walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, and then walks 82 m in the
direction 20° south of east, and finally walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north.(2pt)

a) How far and at what angle is the Aster's final position from her initial position?

b) In what direction would she has to head to return to her initial position

Answer 1

Aster's final position from her initial position is 63 m approximately. She will head north west direction to return to her initial position

What is Displacement ?

Displacement is the distance travelled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity.

Given that a person walks first 70 m in the direction 37° north of east, and then walks 82 m in the direction 20° south of east, and finally walks 28 m in the direction 30° west of north.

a) Let P be the Aster's final position from her initial position?

We can use bearing by using Cosine formula to solve this question.

P² = 70² + 82² - 2 × 70 × 82 cos 73

P² = 4900 + 6724 - 11480 cos 73

P² = 11624 - 3356.43

P² = 8267.57

P = √8267.57

P = 90.9 m

P = 90.9 - 28

P = 62.9 m

We can get the angle by using Sine rule

82/ sin Ф = 90.9 / sin 73

sin Ф = 0.8627

Ф = $Sin^{-1}$ (0.8627)

Ф = 59.6°

Ф = 60°

b)  She will head north west direction to return to her initial position
