This document contains 5 questions about calculating displacement vectors from distances traveled in various directions. Question 1 asks about the displacement of a bee flying north, west, and south. Question 2 asks about the displacement in blocks of someone walking south, west, and north. Questions 3-5 provide displacement information and ask the reader to calculate components of displacement or resultant displacement vectors based on distances traveled at various angles.

1) A bee flies 12 m north, 8 meters west, and then 4 meters south. What is the displacement of the bee?
2) Bethany walks 6 blocks south, 4 blocks west and then 2 blocks north. What is her displacement (in blocks)?
Note for questions 3–5:
3) A biker travels 15° W of S for 25.0 km. What are his or her south and west displacement components?
4) Xavier went hiking in the mountains and traveled in the following fashion: – 3 km, 30° N of E – 6 km, 45° W of N – 4 km, 20° E of N
Determine the resultant/final displacement vector. How does the distance value compare to the magnitude of the displacement vector?
5) During a rodeo, a clown runs 8.0 m directly to the north, turns 55° north of east and runs 3.5 m. Then, after waiting for the bull to come near, the clown turns due east (exactly along the east compass direction) and runs 5.0 m to exit the arena. What is the clown’s resultant displacement?
