Question

An engineer designs a roller coaster so that a car travels horizontally for 192 ft, then climbs 147 ft at an angle of 33.00
above the horizontal. It then moves 147 ft at an angle of 42.0° below the horizontal. If we take the initial horizontal motion
of the car to be along the +x-axis, what is the car's displacement? (Give the magnitude of your answer, in ft, to at least four
significant figures and give the direction of your answer in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis.)
magnitude
The magnitude of the displacement is the length of the vector which goes from the starting point to the
ending point. You will need to measure this distance, and multiply by your scale factor. ft
direction
° counterclockwise from the +x-axis
