9. A humming bird flies 2.1m along a straight path at a height of 3.5m above the ground. Upon spotting a flower below, the hummingbird drops directly downward 2.8m to hover in front of the flower.

a) What is the magnitude of the hummingbird's total displacement? Answer in units of m.
b) How many degrees below the horizontal is this total displacement? Answer in degrees.

10. A plane travels 3.8km at an angle of 26 degrees to the ground, then changes direction and travels 7.4km at an angle of 13 degrees to the ground.

a) What is the magnitude of the plane's total displacement? Answer in km.

b) At what angle above the horizontal is the plane's total displacement? Answer in degrees.

11. The pilot of an aircraft wishes to fly due west in a 48.6km/h wind blowing toward the south. The speed of the aircraft in the absence of a wind is 174 km/h.

a) How many degrees from west should the aircraft head? Let clockwise be positive. Answer in degrees.
