It would be 8 + 3 = 11 kilometres West. What is missing from the question is the starting point? If the ending points were given, we would be able to reverse back to the unknown starting point.

At one p.m. a car traveling at a constant velocity of 94 km per hour toward the west is 17 km to the west of your school. Where will it be at 330?

A vehicle that is traveling at 94 km/hr travels west from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. That's 2 and 1/2 hours of travel time at 94 km/hr. The car will travel 94 km/hr times 2 1/2 hr or 235 km in the time specified. That means the car will be that much farther west than it was at the start, which was 17 km west of a school. Add the distance from the school to the starting point of the vehicle and you'll know where the car will be at the end of the observation period. 235 km + 17 km = 252 km west of the school.

What is the angle and the resultant vector of 10 km E and 5 km N and 7 km W?

Relative to the starting point, the coordinates of the end point are (10-7, 5) or (3, 5) So the magnitude of the resultant vector is sqrt(32 + 52) = sqrt(9 + 25) = sqrt(34) = approx 5.83 km. The bearing (measured from North) is arctan(3/5) = arctan(0.6) = 031 degrees.
