Question

what is the resultant of combining 2 displacement vectors of 750 m left and 250 m right? 1 point
500 m left
500 m right
1000 m left
1000 m right

Explanation:

Step1: Define directions as signs

Let left - direction be positive and right - direction be negative. So the first displacement $d_1 = 750$ m and the second displacement $d_2=- 250$ m.

Step2: Calculate the resultant displacement

The resultant displacement $R=d_1 + d_2$. Substitute the values: $R = 750+( - 250)=750 - 250 = 500$ m. Since the result is positive, the direction is left.

Answer:

500 m left
