Step 1: Defining vector

A vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. The vector can be split into two or more scalar components when added, producing the same effect as it produced by a single vector.

Step 2: Determining north component

The north component of displacement from San Francisco to Sacramento is

$s_{n} = S \sin (45 °)$

Here S is the magnitude of the displacement.

Substitute 123 km for S.

$s_{n} = 123 k m \times \sin 45 ° = 86.97 k m$

Hence, the north component of the displacement from San Francisco to Sacramento is 86.97km.

Step 3: Determining east component

The east component of displacement from San Francisco to Sacramento is

$s_{E} = S \cos (45 °)$

Here S is the magnitude of the displacement.

Substitute 123km for S .

$S_{E} = 123 k m \times \cos (45 °) = 86.97 k m$

Hence, the east component of the displacement from San Francisco to Sacramento is 86.97km.
