    1. The document contains 6 physics problems involving vector calculations of displacement, components, and magnitudes. The problems require adding and resolving vectors along different directions to find resultant magnitudes and unknown distances or components. 2. The first problem involves adding 4 displacement vectors pointing in different directions to find the magnitude and direction of the resultant vector. 3. The second problem requires calculating the distance of a cyclist from a campground based on displacements along perpendicular directions. 4. The third problem involves finding the displacement and direction needed for a bear to return to its starting point after displacing in two directions.

    AP Physics Summer Vector Homework (KEY)

    1. (CJ 1-23) Displacement vector A points due east and has a magnitude of 2.00 km.
    Displacement vector B points due north and has a magnitude of 3.75 km. Displacement
    vector C points due west and has a magnitude of 2.50 km. Displacement vector D points
    due south and has a magnitude of 3.00 km. Find the magnitude and direction (relative to
    due west) of the resultant vector A + B + C + D.

    2. (CJ 1-26) Two bicyclists, starting at the same place, are riding toward the same
    campground by two different routes. One cyclist rides 1080 m due east and then turns due
    north and travels another 1430 m before reaching the campground. The second cyclist
    starts out by heading due north for 1950 m and then turns and heads directly toward the
    campground.
    (a) At the turning point, how far is the second cyclist from the campground?
    (b) What direction (measured relative to due east) must the second cyclist head during the
    last part of the trip?

    3. (CJ 1-28) In wandering, a grizzly bear makes a displacement of 1563 m due west,
    followed by a displacement of 3348 m in a direction 32.0 north of west. What are (a) the
    magnitude and (b) the direction of the displacement needed for the bear to return to its
    starting point? Specify the direction relative to due east.

    4. (CJ 1-33) An ocean liner leaves New York City and travels 18.0 north of east for 155
    km. How far east and how far north has it gone? In other words, what are the magnitudes
    of the components of the ships displacement vector in the directions (a) due east and (b)
    due north?

    5. (CJ 1-39) The drawing shows a force vector that has a magnitude of 475 newtons. Find
    the (a) x, (b) y, and (c) z components of the vector.

    6. (CJ 1-48) The route followed by a hiker consists of three displacement vectors A, B, and
    C. Vector A is along a measured trail and is 1550 m in a direction 25.0 north of east.
    Vector B is not along a measured trail, but the hiker uses a compass and knows that the
    direction is 41.0 east of south. Similarly, the direction of vector C is 35.0 north of west.
    The hiker ends up back where she started, so the resultant displacement if zero, or A + B +
    C = 0. Find the magnitudes of (a) vector B and (b) vector C.
