You walk due north and then due east. Make a scale drawing of your walk, and use it to find your final displacement. Remember to give both the magnitude and the direction.
Check your answer by calculating your displacement.

A stone is thrown from a cliff and strike the surface of the sea with a vertical velocity of and a horizontal velocity . The resultant of these two velocities is . Draw a vector diagram showing the two velocities and the resultant. Use your diagram to find the angle between the stone and the vertical as it strikes the water.
