a)A displacement vector with an x component of +9.1 m and a y component of -9.5 m.
Magnitude of displacement
X-componet of displacement is positive and Y-component is negative, so the displacment vector lies in 4th qudrant.
Angle of displacment counter clockwise from positive X-axis.

b)
(b) A velocity vector with an x component of -98 m/s and a
y component of +38 m/s.
Magnitude of displacement
X-componet of velocity is negative and Y-component is positive, so the velocity vector lies in 2nd qudrant.
Angle of displacment counter clockwise from positive X-axis.

c)A force vector with a magnitude of 54 lb that is in the third quadrant with an x component whose magnitude is
33 lb.
In the third quadrant X-component and Y-component of forces are negative.
