Question

A particle undergoes three successive displacements in a plane as follows

Answer 1

A particle undergoes three successive displacements in a plane, as follows: 4.13 m southwest, 5.26 m east, and 5.94 m in a direction 64.0° north of east. Choose the x axis pointing east and the)' axis pointing north and find (a) the components of each displacement, (b) the components of the resultant displacement, (c) the magnitude and direction of the resultant displacement, and (d) the displacement that would be required to bring the particle back to the starting point.
