SUMMARY
Darryl's movement was analyzed based on his journey consisting of four segments: 14.0 km east, 6.0 km north, 12.0 km at an angle of 15° north of east, and 2.0 km at an angle of 65° north of east, completed in 42 minutes. The solution involved graphing these vectors accurately to represent his total displacement. The verification of the graph indicated that the initial solution was correct, alleviating concerns about potential errors in the calculations.
