URGENT HELP needed on Displacement Angles Due tomorrow

Edit: with the help of second poster, I was able to solve it out. Btw I got 15 meters west and 11.34 meters south for the second one

 

[nick850]

the answer to the first is 19 meters north and 35 meters west

and the answer to the second is 13 meters south and 34 meters west

you need work?

 

[isnipeu2]

Yes please so I can understand it and have a chance to graph it as well

 

[nick850]

i'm glad you were able to solve it!

i checked my work and i got for the 2nd one:

35.36m N
80m S
28.28m S
60m N
total: 12.93 S

35.36m W
30m E
28.28m W
total 33.64m W

Hello,

I am not sure what specific problem you are having with displacement angles, but I can offer some general advice. First, make sure you understand the concept of displacement and how it is calculated. It is the shortest distance between an initial and final position, and it can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometric functions.

Next, check your given information and make sure you are using the correct units and values. It may be helpful to draw a diagram to visualize the problem.

If you are still struggling with the calculation, I recommend seeking help from a teacher, tutor, or classmate. It is important to address any difficulties as soon as possible, especially if the assignment is due tomorrow.

Best of luck with your assignment.
