Question

Displacement vectors of 3 m and 5 m in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector that is _____ in magnitude.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 8 meters.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation :

First displacement vector, x = 3 m

Second displacement vector, y = 5 m

These vectors are in the same direction. So there resultant will be :

$R=x+y$

$R=3\ m+5\ m$

$R=8\ m$

R is the combination of vectors.

So, displacement vectors of 3 m and 5 m in the same direction combine to make a displacement vector that is 8 m or more in magnitude.

Hence, this is the required solution.
