Question

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer​

Answer 1

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

`=\sqrt{(200)^(2) + (100)^(2) } \\=223.60m`

Here the direction is

`\Theta =tan^{^(-1)}\left ( (100)/(200) \right )\\\Theta =26.6^(o)`

Then the direction is
`26.6^(o)` North-west.
