I am unsure about how to solve the attached physics question.
A. Carl (person 1) walks 100 m North and 300 m East 45 degrees NE. How many meters the distance traveled by Carl? How many meters is the displacement?
B. If you calculated the displacement. Then what is the velocity? If carl (person 1) walks 400 m. In 3 minutes
C. Both Carl and Kim (person 2) have walk the same distance, the same displacement and the same velocity If the Carl has mass of 50 kgs. And the kim has mass of 65 kgs. Which person has a greater momentum?
