Answer to Question #137607 in Atomic and Nuclear Physics for Janea Mangulabnan

Question

Three jeepney left cabanatuan city central terminal towards their destinations. Jeepney 1 headed towards Bongabon which is 30 km South, Jeepney 2 headed towards San Jose 45 km 15 degrees West of North while the third jeepney headed towards Rizal which is 22 km 20 degrees East of North. Determine the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the 3 jeepneys

Answer 1

To calculate Magnitude we used the formula

$F=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

Then we will find the displacement by the formula:

$d=v_1t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$
