An orienteer runs north at 5 m/s for 120 seconds, and then west at 4 m/s for 180 seconds. Provide a graphic solution to show the orienteer's resultant displacement.

Respuesta :

Answer:937.22 m

Explanation:

Given

First orienteer is running towards North with 5 m/s for 120 s

so he covers a distance of [tex]5\times 120=600 m [/tex]

After that He runs towards west at 4 m/s for 180 s

So he covers a distance of [tex]4\times 180=720 m[/tex]

Mathematically its net Displacement is

displacement[tex]=\sqrt{600^2+720^2}[/tex]

displacement[tex]=937.22 m[/tex]
