A snake crawls from a hole to find food. It starts at 8 m SW; then goes 10 m 40o N of W; then sensed something moving 9 m S from where it is and moves to it. b. How far and in what direction was the moving object from the hole? c. If after realizing that the moving object was not good for food, the snake moved from it because it saw another moving thing, moved to its direction by covering a fourth unknown displacement and is now 20 m and 30o E of S from the hole. Determine the magnitude and direction of the fourth displacement?

Question

A snake crawls from a hole to find food. It starts at 8 m SW; then goes 10 m 40o N of W; then sensed something moving 9 m
S from where it is and moves to it.
b. How far and in what direction was the moving object from the hole?
c. If after realizing that the moving object was not good for food, the snake moved from it
because it saw another moving thing, moved to its direction by covering a fourth unknown
displacement and is now 20 m and 30o E of S from the hole. Determine the magnitude and
direction of the fourth displacement?
