Question
Brenda goes out for a nice, leisurely walk. She begins by travelling 19 km
due east, and then follows up by travelling 15 km in a direction 40◦ north of west. Determine the magnitude and direction of her displacement vector during the walk. Be sure to draw a vector diagram showing how you added the displacement vectors.
