A delivery drone travels along a straight horizontal path. It first moves 850 m east, then 320 m west, then 1,200 m east. Calculate the resultant displacement of the drone from its starting position. Show your working.
A delivery drone operates along a straight horizontal pathway. The table below shows the velocity vectors recorded during four sequential time intervals as the drone navigates wind conditions. Refer to the table below. Determine the resultant velocity of the drone at the end of interval 4. Show your working.
