Question

A drone flies the following displacement vectors in the sequence indicated. It starts flying West for 50-m, then it flies for 70-m in a direction of 30° North of East, then it flies South for 100-m, and finally, it flies for 80-m in a direction of 60° East of South.


a. Draw a rough sketch that shows the displacement vectors.


b. Use the component method to find the Resultant Displacement and Direction (with respect to the –x or +x
axis) of the drone relative to the starting point.
