A delivery truck travels 14 blocks north 16 east and 26 south what is its final displacement from the origin assuming blocks of equal length?
Using X and Y as the map coordinates, where X is east and west (positive or negative) and Y is north and south (positive and negative), and the point 0,0 as a starting point, you can show the following: * 14 blocks north to 0,14 * 16 blocks east to 16, 14 * 26 blocks south to 16, -12 The final location is 12 blocks south and 16 blocks east of the starting point. If there were a straight diagonal street, the truck would be 20 blocks from the start (square root of 122 and 162), just east of a SE direction.
Someone walked three blocks east then two blocks south one block west and finally two blocks north they traveled a distance of eight blocks and have a displacement of what blocks east?
3 blocks east

The answer is....................................... LOL do it yourself, lml no its ................ Me giving you the answer wont help you............. I bet your still waiting or you went back but okay... your still here -________- suits your self Its 2 blocks east!
If Julie and her friend are wandering around their neighborhood talking and they walk three blocks east then two blocks south and one block west and finally two blocks north where are they?
Two blocks east of their starting position.
To get to school you need to walk 9 blocks south on main street and then 12 blocks east on peen street what is the diagonal distance from your starting point?
Using Pythagoras' theorem the diagonal distance is 15 blocks
Is 3 blocks east a displacement?
Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!

A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west 4.00 blocks north then 6.00 blocks east what is her displacement?
The girl's displacement can be calculated by finding the net distance and direction from her starting point to her ending point. Using the Pythagorean theorem, her displacement would be approximately 5.00 blocks in a northeast direction.
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
Is this True or false Five blocks south is an example of displacement?
True.
