An explorer in Antarctica leaves his shelter during a whiteout. He takes 40 steps northeast, next 80 steps at 60$^{\circ}$ north of west, and then 50 steps due south. Assume all of his steps are equal in length. (a) Sketch, roughly to scale, the three vectors and their resultant. (b) Save the explorer from becoming hopelessly lost by giving him the displacement, calculated by using the method of components, that will return him to his shelter.

Answer :

a) R= Resultant vector  R=A+B+C ,D=12 steps i^−48 steps j^​

A resultant vector is what?

The resultant vector is described as a single vector with the same consequence as several other vectors taken together.

How do you locate the outcome vector?

R = A + B.Formula 2: To obtain the resultant, opposing vectors are subtracted from one another.Here, a vector B is pointing in the opposite direction of the vector A, as well as the resulting vector is called R.
