QUESTION:
What are the direction and magnitude of your total displacement if you have traveled due west with a speed of 27 m/s for 125 s, then due south at 14 m/s for 66 s?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2:
Speed of travel westwards: \(v_{w}=27 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Time of travel: \(t=125\)
Displacement: \(s_{w}=27 \times 125=3375 \mathrm{\ m}\)
Speed of travel southwards: \(v_{s}=14 \mathrm{\ m} / \mathrm{s}\)
Time of travel: \(t=66\)
Displacement: \(s_{s}=14 \times 66=924 \mathrm{\ m}\)
