As shown in the diagram below, a soccer player kicks a ball directly toward the goal along a displacement vector r, which has a length of 8.3 m and a direction 30 degrees east of south. Alternatively, she could have kicked it to a second player standing directly in front of the goal along a displacement r, who could have then kicked it to the goal along a displacement vector r, as shown. Find the magnitudes and directions of r, and r

Borsalino wants to buy some ice cream in the nearest convenience store. He has to walk 5.3 meters, 12 degrees in the north of east direction to reach the doorstep of the convenience store. He then enters the store and walks straight to cashier, two meters due northwest. Let Á be the displacement vector with a magnitude of 5.3 meters directed 12 degrees in the north of east direction, and let B be the displacement vector with a magnitude of two meters due northwest. Express vectors Á and B in unit vector component form. À = + B - + The net displacement is given by the vector sum: :Ř=À +B. Ř- By Pythagorean theorem,the magnitude of the displacement is: |Ř = meters. The direction of the resultant displacement is: 0 = north of east.
If vector A is added to vector B, which of the following choices must be true for the resultant vector to be equal to zero? Explain your reasoning for the answer.
