1 . ) You walk 4 km at 3 5 deg south of east and then walk 3 km at 1 5 deg

 1.) You walk 4 km at 35\deg south of east and then walk 3 km at 15\deg north of east. To return directly to your starting point, how far and in what direction should you walk? 
 

2.) Two trains, traveling towards one another on a straight track are 300 m apart when the engineers on both trains become aware of the impending collision and hit their brakes. The eastbound train, initially moving at 98 km/h, slows down at 3.5 m/s^2. The westbound train, initially moving at 120 km/h, slows down at 4.2 m/s^2. Will the trains stop before colliding? If so, what is the distance between them once they have stopped? If not, what initial separation distance would have been needed to avert a disaster?
3.) A boat is drifting in a strong current that is taking it 4 m/s east. To get out of this current, it begins accelerating south at 0.4 m/s^2. After 10 s, how far is it from the starting point and what is its velocity? Include both magnitude and direction.
4/) A bicyclist starting at rest accelerates constantly to her top speed of 6 m/s over 7.5 m. A) What is the acceleration of the bicyclist? B) For how much time is the bicyclist accelerating?
