During a relay race, runner A runs a certain distance due north and then hands off the baton to runner B, who runs for the same distance in a direction south of east. The two displacement vectors A and B can be added together to give a resultant vector R. Which drawing correctly shows the resultant vector?

Respuesta :

Answer:

d) 4

Explanation:

The image attached shows the options.

The resultant vector is the resultant of two or more vectors. The resultant vector is gotten by adding the sum of the displacement of the vectors together (that is the sum of all the individual vectors).

From the question, since runner A runs north and runner B runs east the resultant vector would be the sum of the displacement of vectors A and B. Also, the direction of the vector would be the north east starting from the beginning of vector A to end of vector B. The correct option is d) 4
