Question

A fly enters through an open window and zooms around the room. In a Cartesian coordinate system with three axes along three edges of the room, the fly changes its position from point b (2.5 m, 2.0 m, 4.0 m) to point e (4.5 m, 3.0 m, 3.5 m). Find the scalar components of the flies displacement vector (in m).

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Displacement vector along x axes = 4.5 - 2.5 = 2 m

Displacement vector along y axes = 3 - 2 = 1 m

Displacement vector along z axis = 3.5- 4 = - 0.5 m

Displacement vector = 2 i + j - 0.5 k m
