Q1Physical Quantities and MeasurementFree sample

A journey consists of two displacements: the first is 500 m500\text{ m} in a northerly direction and the second is 200 m200\text{ m} in an easterly direction.

(a)

In the space below draw, to scale, a vector diagram of these displacements.

State the scale of your diagram.
On your diagram, show the two displacements and the resultant displacement.
Determine the size (magnitude) and direction of the resultant displacement.

scale = ______
size = ______
direction = ______

3M
(b)

Another journey covers a distance of 700 m700\text{ m}. Describe how it is possible that this journey has no resultant displacement.

1M
