Question

A woman walks 4 km towards the east and then walks 8 km towards the north. Apply the tail to tip method to find the net displacement. Check your result with the parallelogram method.

On Mars’ surface, a vehicle travels at a distance of 38 m at an angle of 180°. Then, it turns and travels 66 m of distance at an angle of 210°. What was its displacement from the origin point? Apply the tail to tip method to find the net displacement. Check your result with the parallelogram method.

A surveyor begins his duty in the southeast corner of a land and he moves like this: A = 600 m, N; B = 400 m, W; C = 200 m, S; and D = 100 m, E. What is the net displacement from the origin point?

The following three forces act at the same time on the same object: A = 300 N, 30° N of E; B = 600 N, 270°; and C = 100 N, E. Find the net force using the tail to tip method.

A ship sails a distance of 200 m to the west, then advances 400 m to the north, and finally 100 m at 30° SE. What is its net displacement?
