While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances: 75.0m north, 300m east, 210m at angle of 30.0 degrees north of east, and 150m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance.

Assuming north and east directions as positive, getting: N = 75.0 + 210 * sin30 - 150 = 30 m E = 300.0 + 210 * cos30 = 481.9 m So, the resultant displacement L = sqrt( N^2 + E^2 ) = sqrt(900 +232194) = 482.8 m
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
