Problem

A delivery robot moves over a large warehouse floor as follows: 1. 500 m500\text{ m} due north 2. 300 m300\text{ m} due west 3. 400 m400\text{ m} towards the south-west along a direction that makes 45∘45^{\circ} with both the south and west directions Solve the following: a. (i) Express each leg of motion as a displacement vector in component form taking east as +x+x and north as +y+y. b. (ii) Obtain the resultant displacement vector of the robot and compute its magnitude. c. (iii) State the direction of the resultant displacement as a bearing measured clockwise from north, correct to the nearest degree.
