8. A student is walking a path to determine a resulting displaceme nt. The student begins by walking 3 m east, then 5 m south, 3 m west, and 7 m south. Draw a vector diagram that shows the student's path.

Question

8. A student is walking a path to determine a resulting displaceme nt. The student begins by walking 3 m east, then 5 m south, 3 m west, and 7 m south. Draw a vector diagram that shows the student's path.

Answer 1

1. Start at the origin (0,0).2. Walk 3 meters east: (3,0).3. Walk 5 meters south: (3,-5).4. Walk 3 meters west: (0,-5).5. Walk 7 meters south: (0,-12).The resulting displacement vector is (0, -12), meaning the student ends up 12 meters south of the starting point.To visualize this, you can draw a coordinate system and plot the points in sequence, connecting them with arrows to show the path.

Answer 2

To solve this problem, we need to represent the student's movements as vectors on a coordinate system. Each direction (east, south, west, north) corresponds to a specific axis movement. Summing these vectors will show the overall displacement.
