I am new to the US and I have taken physics and I need a little help.
For each vector given, draw a co-ordinate system and sketch the vector on a separate sheet of paper. be sure to label the angle that the vector makes with axis.
a: a man walks 800 meters in a direction of 20 degrees west of north
b: a worker lifts a sign by exerting a force along a rope of 250N at an angle of 50 degrees with respect to the ground.
----------------------------------------------------
a jogger runs 300 meters due east and then turns & runs 500 meters due south.
what is the total distance that she ran?
800m, yes?
so then it asks me to calculate the displacement [magnitude & direction]
how do i calculate magnitude and direction?
