13) While hiking, you travel 5.0 miles south (vector A), then turn and travel 4.0 miles at an angle of 30 degrees north of east (B). a) Sketch a diagram of these two displacement vectors, roughly to scale. Assume the positive x-axis is in the east direction, and the positive y-axis is in the north direction. b) You now wish to return to where you started. Determine the magnitude and direction of the displacement vector D you must follow. Use the method of components. As always, show all the details of your work. (Show vector D in the diagram above.) (Use clear, standard notation; show all details of your work. See PSL 3.4-5.)
