The document contains 5 problems involving the calculation of displacements and vectors from descriptions of motions and journeys involving direction and distances. The problems include determining the final displacement of individuals walking, the total displacement of an ant crawling, identifying which pair of displacements would result in a particular magnitude, calculating the angle needed for a car to return to its origin, and finding the resultant displacement vector for a boat's journey.
