Find the displacement vector from one city to another For th

Find the displacement vector from one city to another. For this exercise, the origin is the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian. The horizontal and vertical distances are approximated to be the latitude and longitude measurements. From Amsterdam (52, 5) to Dubai (25, 55)

Can someone show step by step?

Solution

X component of the displacement vector = difference of the x coordinates between the two points.

X component of displacement=25 -52 =-27

Y component of the displacement vector = difference of the y coordinates between the two points.= 55-5 =50

Displacement vector from Amsterdam to Dubai = < -27, 50>
