Question

Extra for Experts: 8a. Two teams of treasure hunters are in possession of a map to a buried treasure deep in a jungle. Both teams have simultaneously arrived at a large stone carving that is indicated as the starting point of the map. The map indicates that in order to find the treasure a person must walk 300 m to the North then turn and walk 70 m to the East followed by a walk to the South of 25 meters and then a final walk to the West of 130 m. One team starts off following the map instructions directly. Using your knowledge of vectors, what displacement will take you directly to the buried treasure? (Give your answer in meters and the angle measured clockwise from the North) b. Both teams walk at a typical 80 m/hr pace due to the thick jungle cover. In terms of time, how far in advance of the other team will your team arrive at the treasure? (I.e., how much time do you have to dig before the other tear arrives?)
