The position of a particle changes from r ? 1 = (2.0i ^ + 3.0j ^ )cm to r ? 2 = (?4.0i ^ + 3.0j ^ ) cm. What is the particle’s displacement?
Added by Aryanis C.
Step 1
This is done by subtracting the initial position vector from the final position vector. So, the displacement vector Δr = r2 - r1 = (-4.0i^ + 3.0j^) - (2.0i^ + 3.0j^) Show more…
