Question

A mouse climbs 5m directly up a tree and then 3m to the right on a tree limb. What are the

Answer 1

Answer:

d = (3 i + 5 j) 3 [m] x-distance and 5 [m] y-distance

Explanation:

We can find the displacement if we use a diagram with the cartesian coordinates of the displacement of the mouse.

In the attached image we can see each of the vectors and the origin where the mouse was in the initial position and then the final position after the mouse moved to the right.

So the mouse moved 3 meters to the right and 5 meter upward.
