What is the magnitude of your total displacement if you have traveled due west with a speed of 23 m/s for 165 s , then due south at 12 m/s for 255 s ? What is the direction of your total displacement in part A.
Using the scale $1.0 \mathrm{~cm}=5 \overline{0} \mathrm{~km},$ find the length of the vector that represents each displacement. Displacement $26 \overline{0} \mathrm{~km}$ at $3 \overline{0}^{\circ}$ south of west $\quad$ length $=______ cm$
