Step 1
In terms of angles, East is represented as \(0^{\circ}\), and North is represented as \(90^{\circ}\). So, \(25^{\circ}\) North of East is simply \(0^{\circ} + 25^{\circ} = 25^{\circ}\). Show more…

As preparation for this problem, consult Concept Simulation 1.1 at $.$ On a safari, a team of naturalists sets out toward a research station located $4.8 \mathrm{~km}$ away in a direction $42^{\circ}$ north of east. After traveling in a straight line for $2.4 \mathrm{~km}$, they stop and discover that they have been traveling $22^{\circ}$ north of east, because their guide misread his compass. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?
First consult Concept Simulation $1.1$ at www.wiley.com/college/ cutnell. On a safari, a team of naturalists sets out toward a research station located $4.8 \mathrm{~km}$ away in a direction $42^{\circ}$ north of east. After traveling in a straight line for $2.4 \mathrm{~km}$, they stop and discover that they have been traveling $22^{\circ}$ north of east, because their guide misread his compass. What are (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to due east) of the displacement vector now required to bring the team to the research station?
Suppose you walk $18.0 \mathrm{m}$ straight west and then 25.0 m straight north. How far are you from your starting point and what is the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position? Use a graphical method.
