You would walk back 30m to the left to get to where you started

Sorry I don't follow

Not sure what you mean by which vector is directed 2.2° North of East and the question ask me which direction and how far she has to swim back to her starting point.

Well the way I came up with 2.2° north of east was adding the xy which gave me 240i+9.28j which puts it in the first quadrant and arctan ( 9.28/240) = 2.2°

This is how its wording from the book If Calculated as East of North I get the answer 240.17 but the direction now it 2.2 North of East

Sorry, typo I didn't mean South of North I mean South of East since the x component is positive and and the y component is negative which make its in the 4th quadrant I though my component were correct 90.0m N ----------------------------- 90cos90 = 0 90sin0=90-----------(0i + 90j) 200.0m E...

Homework Statement A diver explores a shallow reef off the coast of Belize. She initially swims 90.0 m north, makes a turn to the east and continues for 200.0 m, then follows a big grouper for 80.0 m in the direction 30° north of east. In the meantime, a local current displaces her by 150.0 m...

I figured it out thanks for all the help

Ok I see the issue lol. so 4th quadrant positive x and negative y. Now I subtracted 360 from 60° to get 300. I'm assuming that's wrong so would I need to add 270 to the 60° or make it -60° this is where the confusion comes in

Im not understanding. for the first part, wouldn't 2.5 @ W45N = -1.77i + 1.77j . Sorry I am still new at this but if you draw a diagram for that part 1 x would be negative and y would be positive giving NW?

Can you explain for the first part what I am doing wrong just do I have an idea. I am really confuse when it comes to which quadrant and direction. For example sometime when something is in quadrant 4 some either takes 360 off the angle or add 270.

When you say first four line are you talking about before the dotted lines or after?

Homework Statement In an attempt to escape a desert island, a castaway builds a raft and sets out to sea. The wind shifts a great deal during the day and he is blown along the following directions: 2.50 km and 45.0° north of west, then 4.70 km and 60.0° south of east, then 1.30 km and 25.0°...
