Thank you so much for the help, I understand it much better now !

So if I'm not given a specific angle I should assume that whatever the direction is that's what the angle is? e.g northeast points to a 45º angle so i would do 2cos45= 2sin45=

I tried putting the components together like this 4cos0= 4i 4sin0= 0j 2cos90=0i 2sin90= 2j 1cos30= .86 -1cos30= -0.5 Then I added all the components of (i) and got 4.86i added all the components of (j) and got 1.5j used Pythagorean theorem and got an answer of 5.086

Homework Statement A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements of the ball are 4.00 m to the north, 2.00 m northeast, and 1.00 m at 30.0° west of south (Fig. P3.21). Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in...
