A hiker walks 15km due east then heads due north for 8km . What is the direction of the resultant vector?

Physics

8 0

his displacements are given as

d_1 = 15 km East

d_2 = 8 km North

now we can find the direction of displacement by using the concept

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{\deta y}{\delta x}

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{8}{15}

\theta = 28.1 degree

magnitude of displacement is given as

d = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}

d = \sqrt{15^2 + 8^2}

d= 17 km

<em>so the displacement is 17 km at angle 28.1 degree North of East</em>
