Question

Hearing rattles from a snake, you make two rapid displacements of magnitude 1.8 m and 2.4m. Draw sketches, roughly to scale, to show how your two displacements might add to give the following resultant of magnitudes.
a. 4.2 m
b. 0.6 m
c. 3.2 m

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a 4.2m

Explanation:

Given data

Please see attached the rough drawing for your reference.

From the drawing, you ran 18m west and 2.4m south

The displacement is

= 1.8+2.4

=4.2m
