Physics

To find the hiker's displacement from the starting point, we need to break each leg of the walk into components and then combine those components.

 

Step 1: First Leg of the Journey

Distance: 10 km

Direction: 30 degrees west of north

 

To break this into components:

Northward component: 

north

Westward component: 

west

 

Step 2: Second Leg of the Journey

Distance: 17.32 km

Direction: 30 degrees south of west

 

To break this into components:

Westward component: 

west

Southward component:  <...
