A food particle from your breakfast takes a circuitous path through your digestive system. Suppose its motion over a period of time can be represented by the four displacement vectors depicted in the figure below. Let the vectors have magnitudes A = 7.8 cm, B = 17 cm, C = 22 cm, and D = 5.7 cm.

Part A: What is the magnitude of the total displacement of the food particle?

Part B: What is the direction of the total displacement of the food particle?

Part C: If the average speed of the particle is 0.010 mm/s, what is the magnitude of its average velocity over the time interval of the four displacements?
