Question

practice

1. a rabbit runs 3.8 mn and stops to nibble on some grass. the rabbit

then hops 6.3 mn to scratch against a small tree.
(a) sketch a diagram of the motion showing the displacement vectors
and the total displacement vector.
(b) what is the rabbit’s total displacement?
(b) \\( \delta d_{\mathrm{r}}=10.1 \mathrm{~m}\mathrm{~n} \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the direction of motion

The rabbit moves in the same direction (north) for both parts of its motion.

Step2: Calculate the total displacement

Since the displacements are in the same direction, we add them. The first displacement \(d_1 = 3.8\space m[N]\) and the second displacement \(d_2=6.3\space m[N]\). The total displacement \(\Delta d_T=d_1 + d_2\).

Answer:

The rabbit's total displacement is \(10.1\space m[N]\)
