What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement
Answer:
a
b
Magnitude
Direction
West
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first distance covered westward is
=>
=>
For the second question eastward is in the direction of the positive x-axis so it would be positive and westward is in the direction of the negative x-axis so it would be negative
