Tim jogs a distance of 7.2 km to the west. Then he turns south and jogs 1.4 km. West is the resultant if Tim's jog back to the beginning?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

If Tim jogs a distance of 7.2 km to the west and then he turns south and jogs 1.4 km, the resultant displacement of Tim is calculated using the pythagoras theorem as shown;

R² = 7.2²+1.4²

R² = 51.84+1.96

R² = 53.8

R = √53.8

R = 7.33 km

Hence  the resultant of Tim's jog back to the beginning is 7.33km
