The relevant equations I used here are: i) rx= ax + bx + cx
ii) ry=ay + by + cy
iii) r= √(rx2 + ry2)

Looks correct to me.Muhammad Khalid Khan said:View attachment 110471 View attachment 110472 A car is driven eastward for a distance of 50 miles, then northward for 30 miles, and then in a direction 30 degree east of north for 25 miles. Draw the vector diagram and determine the total displacement of the car from its starting point.

Have I done it right?Buffu said:Looks correct to me.
Total displacement using vector diagram is a method used in physics to calculate the net displacement of an object by adding all of its individual displacements together. It is represented visually using a vector diagram, where each displacement is shown as an arrow with a specific magnitude and direction.
To calculate total displacement using vector diagram, you must first draw a vector diagram with each individual displacement represented as an arrow. Next, you must add all of the arrows together, taking into account their directions. The resulting arrow represents the total displacement of the object.
Total displacement is the shortest distance between an object's initial and final positions, taking into account direction. Distance traveled, on the other hand, is the total length of the path an object takes, regardless of direction. Total displacement can be calculated using vector diagram, while distance traveled cannot.
Yes, total displacement can be negative. This occurs when an object's initial and final positions are in opposite directions. In a vector diagram, the negative displacement is represented by an arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the positive displacement.
Total displacement is important in physics because it helps us understand an object's motion and position. It allows us to calculate an object's velocity and acceleration, and helps us analyze the effects of forces on the object. Total displacement also takes into account the direction of an object's motion, providing a more accurate representation of its movement.
