Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Vectors: Problem 88

Vector putt-putt. Figure 3.22 shows a grid laid out on a putt-putt golf course. You are to tee off at the lower left corner and, through three putts, get the ball to roll into the cup. However, you can use only the following displacements (each in meters), without repeating a displacement. What displacements will get the ball into the cup without the ball rolling off the grid? A: \(6.0\hat{i} + 2.0\hat{j}\) B: \(-2.0\hat{i} - 1.0\hat{j}\) C: \(4.0\hat{i} + 5.0\hat{j}\) D: \(4.0\hat{i}\) E: \(2.0\hat{i} + 6.0\hat{j}\) F: \(2.0\hat{i} - 3.5\hat{j}\) G: 1.0 m, at \(90^\circ\) from \(+x\)
