Question

Directions: Illustrate and solve the following problems in a short bond paper. Express your answer in two decimal places then box your final answer.

CIA and NSA launched a hiring program to new agents: to crack the safehouse of the nuclear launch codes. They were given hacking tools and random displacement as a starting point. Agent 1 is directed to 65 m, 34; Agent 2 is directed to 100 m, 208 and Agent 3 to 76 m due south. The three displacements lead to the point in the field where the key to the nuclear launch codes of the United States is kept. Two agents did not use their noggin’ and started measuring immediately, but the winner of the code first calculated where to go. What was the calculated resultant of the winner?

Answer 1

Given:

Resultant displacement is

The magnitude of the resultant is

The direction of this resultant is or we can say 68.3 degrees south of east.

Therefore, the calculated resultant of the winner is 93.2 m at 68.3 degrees south of east. [answer]
