Somnath physics · Accepted Answer

Displacement is OR along North-West
OR = 99 m

Component of this displacement
along West is, OW = OR cos45 = 99/âˆš2 = 70
m

Component of this displacement
along North is, ON = OR sin45 = 99/âˆš2 = 70
m

In an explosion, a piece of debris is tossed 99 meters NorthWest. What is the displacement in the north and west directions? please show steps.
