draw the following position vectors, find the displacement and present it on diagram. di=2 m df=5m
di=3m df= -4m
To draw the position vectors and find the displacement for the given values, we can start by drawing a coordinate system. Let's assume that the origin of our coordinate system is at the initial position, di.
For the first case, where di = 2m and df = 5m:
1. Draw a point and label it "di" at the origin of the coordinate system.
2. Measure 2 units in the positive direction along the x-axis (or any arbitrary direction you choose, as long as you are consistent).
3. Draw a point and label it "df" at this new position, 2 units away from the origin in the chosen direction.
4. Draw an arrow from the initial position, di, to the final position, df. This arrow represents the displacement.
5. Measure the length of the arrow and write down the magnitude of the displacement.
For the second case, where di = 3m and df = -4m:
1. Draw a point and label it "di" at the origin of the coordinate system.
2. Measure 3 units in the positive direction along the x-axis (or any direction you choose, as long as you are consistent).
3. Draw a point and label it "df" at this new position, 3 units away from the origin in the chosen direction.
4. Draw an arrow from the initial position, di, to the final position, df. This arrow represents the displacement.
5. Measure the length of the arrow and write down the magnitude of the displacement. Keep in mind that the negative sign indicates the direction of the displacement.
By following these steps, you will have drawn the position vectors and found the displacement for both cases.
