Problem
Two displacement vectors are represented as arrows drawn on a straight line. The first arrow is 5 cm long pointing right, and the second arrow is 3 cm long pointing right. If 1 cm corresponds to 2 m, what is the algebraic value of the resultant displacement?
(a) +8m
(b) +4m
(c) +16m
(d) −16m
