Question

If Sam walks 100 m to the right, then 200 m to the left, his net displacement vector A.from where he started

B.points to the right.
C.points to the left.
D.has zero length.
E.Cannot tell without more information.

Answer 1

The net displacement vector of Sam's walk is -100 m to the left.

Step-by-step explanation:

The net displacement vector of Sam's walk can be determined by subtracting the displacement vector to the left from the displacement vector to the right. Since Sam walked 100 m to the right and then 200 m to the left, the net displacement vector is:

Net displacement vector = (100 m to the right) - (200 m to the left) = -100 m to the left

Therefore, the answer is C. The net displacement vector points to the left.
