Question 2
A is 47m West of Q. X is 44m East of Q. What is the position of X relative to A?
Position of A: (0,0). Q: (-47, 0). X: (-3, 0). X - A = (-3, 0) → West, 3.0m.
Question 3
A person is facing South. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from South means rotating 90° right. From South, right leads to West.
Question 4
A man is facing West. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning left from West, he faces South. The opposite of South is North.
Question 5
A man is facing East. He turns right. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning right from East, he faces South. The opposite of South is North.
Question 6
An airplane is traveling on a bearing of North (0°). If it turns 180° anticlockwise, what is its new bearing?
Starting bearing: 0°. Anticlockwise turn of 180° → 180° = South.
Question 7
A person starts facing North and walks through a labyrinth. He makes the following turns: left, then right, then left. What is his final facing direction?
Starting from North, left, then right, then left leads to West.
Question 8
A person walks 38m East, then 22m South, then 13m North. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (38, -9). Shortest distance = √(38² + -9²) = 39.1 m.
Question 9
A person walks 34m North, then 38m West. What is the shortest distance between his starting and ending points?
Net displacement: (-38, 34). Shortest distance = √(-38² + 34²) = 51.0 m.
Question 10
A person intends to walk East. The wind is coming from the West. How does the wind affect his movement direction?
Wind from West blows East. Since wind blows same direction as intended (East), person reaches destination faster but same direction.
Question 11
A man is facing South. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
After turning left from South, he faces East. The opposite of East is West.
Question 12
A person starts at point A and walks 16m towards West, then 14m towards South, then 17m towards North. What is his final position relative to point A?
Net displacement: -16m East-West, 3m North-South. Final direction: West, distance: 16.3m.
Question 13
A person is facing East. If he turns right, which direction is he now facing?
Turning right from East means rotating 90° right. From East, right leads to South.
Question 14
X is 50m North of C. A is 42m East of C. What is the position of A relative to X?
Position of X: (0,0). C: (0, 50). A: (42, 50). A - X = (42, 50) → North, 65.3m.
Question 15
In the evening, if you are facing the sun, in which direction will your shadow fall?
In the evening, the sun is in the West. Since you are facing the sun, your shadow falls behind you, towards the East.
Question 16
A person wants to go from (0,0) to (5, 4) but there is an obstacle at (3, 2). He can only move North or East. What sequence of directions should he take to avoid the obstacle?
Direct path blocked at (3, 2). Detour: first move East to clear obstacle's x-coordinate, then North. Final destination: (5, 4).
Question 17
At 12:00, the hour hand points exactly towards North. If a person is facing West, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 12:00, hour hand is at North (0.0°). Person faces West (270°). Angular difference: 90.0°. The hour hand is to his left.
Question 18
At 12:00, the hour hand points exactly towards North. If a person is facing West, where is the hour hand relative to him?
At 12:00, hour hand is at North (0.0°). Person faces West (270°). Angular difference: 90.0°. The hour hand is to his left.
Question 19
At 6:00 PM (sunset), the sun is in the West. If a person is facing East, where will his shadow fall?
At 6:00 PM (sunset), sun is in West. Shadow falls opposite to sun. From East, shadow direction = East.
Question 20
A man is facing East. He turns left. What direction is opposite to the direction he is now facing?
