Question
If vector A represents 5 m of displacement east and vector B represents 10 m of displacement north, find addition of the two displacements.
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Magnitude = √(5² + 10²) = √(25 + 100) = √125 = 11.18 km ≈ 11 km. Angle θ = tan⁻¹(10/5) = tan⁻¹(2) = 63.4°.
Hint
Use Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry.
