Question

A novice golfer on the green takes three strokes to sink the ball. The successive displacements of the ball are d₁ = 4.02 m to the north, d₂ = 2.02 m northeast, and d₃ = 1.12 m at 30.0° west of south (see the figure below). Starting at the same initial point, an expert golfer could make the hole in what single displacement?

magnitude	________-m
direction	__________° north of east

A compass shows that N, S, E and W are up, to the right, down, and to the left, respectively. Three vectors are drawn.

Vector d₁ points vertically upward.
Vector d₂, which is about half the length of d₁, begins at the tip of d₁ and points up and to the right.
Vector d₃, which is about half the length of d₂, begins at the tip of d₂ and points down and to the left at a steeper slope than d₂, making and angle of 30.0° with the vertical.
