Concept explainers
The largest and smallest possible net displacement and its sketches.
Answer to Problem 91A
Largest possible displacement is 7 and smallest possible displacement is 1.
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Calculation:
Largest possible net displacement will be obtained when both component vectors lie in the same direction as shown in figure
Then net vector can be determined as
Smallest possible net displacement will be obtained when component vectors lie in opposite direction as shown in figure, so that time net vector can be determined as
Conclusion:Largest possible displacement is 7 and smallest possible displacement is 1.
