it's been driving me crazy all day! what do i do if i have the length of two vectors and one angle?! what if i don't have an angle?!
Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the shortest distance and direction between the initial position and final position of an object.
To find the displacement of two vectors, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. First, calculate the magnitude of each vector using the formula √(x^2 + y^2). Then, use the formula √(a^2 + b^2) to find the magnitude of the resultant vector. Finally, use the inverse tangent function to find the direction of the resultant vector.
Displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account both the distance and direction of an object's motion, while distance is a scalar quantity that only measures the length of the path an object has traveled.
Yes, displacement can be negative. It indicates that the object has moved in the opposite direction of the reference point or starting position.
Some examples of displacement in everyday life include a person walking from one end of a room to the other, a car driving from one city to another, or a ball being thrown from one person to another.
