Question

A car travels 2.06 km in the x-direction, then turns left 70.5◦ to the original direction and travels an additional distance of 2.69 km.

Calculate the x component of the car’s net displacement.

Answer 1

Answer: 2.95794

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 2.06 km in the x-direction,

x-component = 2.9 * cos70.5.

Total x-component= 2.06+ 2.69(cos 70.5) = 2.95794
