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

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

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

Here the direction is

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

Then the direction is $26.6^{o}$ North-west.
