Question

what is the magnitude of your total displacement if you have traveled due west with a speed of 23 m/s for 165 s , then due south at 12 m/s for 285 s ?

Answer 1

5108.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

23 m/s * 165 s = 3795 m

12 m/s * 285 = 3420 m

mag of resultant ( use pythag theorem)

sqrt ( 3795^2 + 3420^2) = 5108.7 m
