Expert Solution

Step 1

The initial position of a chipmunk in the x-direction is: $r_{1 X} = 3.13 m$

The initial position of a chipmunk in the y-direction is: $r_{1 Y} = - 2.37 m$

The final position of a chipmunk in the x-direction is: $r_{2 X} = - 1.85 m$

The final position of a chipmunk in the y-direction is: $r_{2 Y} = 4.41 m$

The component of the chipmunk's displacement in the x-direction is: $∆ r_{X}$

The component of the chipmunk's displacement in the y-direction is: $∆ r_{Y}$

The displacement is independent on the path taken by the object. It only depends on the initial position and final position of the object. The displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position.
