Chapter 3, Problem 28PCE

A basketball player runs down the court, following the path indicated by the vectors $\stackrel{\to }{\text{A}}$, $\stackrel{\to }{\text{B}}$, and $\stackrel{\to }{\text{C}}$ in Figure 3-43.The magnitudes of these three vectors are A = 10.0 m, B = 20.0 m, and C = 7.0 m. Find the magnitude and direction of the net displacement of the player using (a) the graphical method and (b) the component method of vector addition Compare your results.
