Question

If a displacement vector has a negative x component and a positive y component,

Answer 1

Answer:

The direction will be NE i.e North east.

Explanation:

From the question, it will be travelling in North east direction because the the negative X components in vector is in horizontal direction which is the Eastern direction when using the four cardinal points and the Y components, the positive is in North direction if you use the four cardinal points. Therefore, the vector with both X components and Y components will be travelling in Northeast direction.
