SOLUTION Conceptualize We conceptualize the problem by drawing a sketch as in the figure. If we denote the displacement vectors on the first and second days by A and B, respectively, and use the ---Select-- as the origin of coordinates, we obtain the vectors shown in the figure. The sketch allows us to estimate the resultant vector as shown. Categorize Drawing the resultant R, we can now categorize this problem as one we've solved before: --Select-- of two vectors. You should now have a hint of the power of categorization in that many new problems are very similar to problems we have already solved if we are…arrow_forward
