Perambulating Pachyderm A
An elephant walks 25km[N], 12km[W], 32km[S], and 21km[E]. Use a vector diagram to find the elephants displacement.
Scale: 1 cm = 2 km
Hopping Hares A
A hare hops 142m[N], 193m[E], 94m[S], and 12m[E]. Use a vector diagram to find the hares displacement.
Scale: 1 cm = 10 m X
Ambulatory Anthrax A
An anthrax bacillus moves 135m [up], 65m [left], 52m[up], 48m[left], and 34m[down]. Use a vector diagram to find
the anthrax bacillus displacement.
