Problem

A drone’s displacement from its launch point is given by the components dx=−65 md_x=-65\,\text{m} and dy=+120 md_y=+120\,\text{m}. Which of the following best represents the magnitude of this displacement and its compass bearing? (a) 1.36×102 m1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m} at 62∘62^{\circ} W of N (b) 1.01×102 m1.01\times10^{2}\,\text{m} at 28∘28^{\circ} W of N (c) 1.36×102 m1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m} at 28∘28^{\circ} W of N (d) 1.36×102 m1.36\times10^{2}\,\text{m} at 28∘28^{\circ} E of N
