You must observe the object twice.
-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.
-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.
-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.
What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point.
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.
The lateral displacement is I don’t know tbh I think 16.8
Answer:
vDP = 21.7454 m/s
θ = 200.3693°
Explanation:
Given
vDE = 7.5 m/s
vPE = 20.2 m/s
Required: vDP
Assume that
vDE to be in direction of - j
vPE to be in direction of i
According to relative motion concept the velocity vDP is given by
vDP = vDE - vPE (I)
Substitute in (I) to get that
vDP = - 7.5 j - 20.2 i
The magnitude of vDP is given by
vDP = √((- 7.5)²+(- 20.2)²) m/s = 21.7454 m/s
θ = Arctan (- 7.5/- 20.2) = 20.3693°
θ is in 3rd quadrant so add 180°
θ = 20.3693° + 180° = 200.3693°
