Question

A student bikes to school by traveling first d_N = 1.00 miles north, then d_w = 0.300 miles west, and finally d_s = 0.200miles south. Take north direction as the positive y direction and east as positive x. The origin is still where the student starts biking. Let d_N be the displacement vector corresponding to the first leg of the student's trip. Express d_N in component form. Express your answer as two numbers separated by a comma (e.g., 1.0, 2.0) By convention, the x component is written first.

Explanation / Answer

The origin is the starting point of the student.

He moves in north direction 1 mile i.e. in positive y direction.

So, the coordinates of displacement vector is (0.00,1.00)
