A charged particle is on an x-y plane. The particle starts from the origin, and begins by moving 14.0 centimeters, at an angle of 21.1degrees below the positive x-axis. The particle then changes direction and travels 11.1 cm at an angle of 38.8 degrees above the positive x-axis. What is the particle’s displacement vector after these two motions?
