A protester carries his sign of protest, starting from the origin of an XYZ coordinate system, with the XY plane horizontal. He moves 71 m in the negative direction of the x-axis, then 12 m along a perpendicular path to his left, and then 47 m up a water tower. In unit-vector notation, what is the displacement of the sign from start to end?

Respuesta :

Answer:

-71i + 12j +47k

Step-by-step explanation:

The notation of the distance moved

In x-direction = -71

Considering the left side as the positive y- direction;

In y-direction= 12

In z-direction = 47

Therefore, the vector notation is

Displacement r = -71i + 12j + 47k
