Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Displacement vectors of 4 km south, 2 km north, 5 km south, and 5 km north combine to a total displacement of
A
16 km north
B
11 km west
C
6 kn south
D
2 km south
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The resultant displacement formula is written as: S = √x²+y². “S” stands for displacement. X is the first direction that the object is traveling and Y is the second direction that the object is traveling.

Detailed explanation-2: -Step 1: Find the coordinates of your two displacement vectors. Step 2: Move the second displacement vector so it starts where the first displacement vector ended. Step 3: Draw a new vector that is the addition of the two displacement vectors. More items •30-Jan-2022

Detailed explanation-3: -Position vector at point. A = r A ^ = 5 i ^ + 3 j ^ + 4 k ^ Position vector at point. B = r B ^ = 2 i ^ + 2 j ^ + 1 k ^ r B ^ − r B ^ = − 3 i ^ − j ^ − 3 k ^ The displacement of an object can also be defined as the vector distance between the initial point and the final point.
