Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 0.50 m due east, then 0.90 m at 20° north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs and the first is 1.6 m at 49° east of due north.

Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs 1 runs 0.50 $\mathrm{m}$ due east, then 0.80 $\mathrm{m}$ at $30^{\circ}$ north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is 1.6 $\mathrm{m}$ at $40^{\circ}$ east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle 1?
Two beetles run across flat sand, starting at the same point. Beetle 1 runs $0.50 \mathrm{~m}$ due east, then $0.70 \mathrm{~m}$ at $30^{\circ}$ north of due east. Beetle 2 also makes two runs; the first is $1.6 \mathrm{~m}$ at $40^{\circ}$ east of due north. What must be (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of its second run if it is to end up at the new location of beetle $1 ?$
A beetle runs an erratic pattern on a square kitchen table that is 1.5 m on a side. The sides are arranged along the directions north/south and east/west. It begins at the southwest corner and travels east along one side to the adjacent corner in 20.0 s. It then turns north and reaches the northeast corner 12.5 s later. What is the magnitude of the beetle’s average velocity for the whole trip?
