What is the displacement of a cyclist who travels 1 mile north then 1 mile east and finally 1 mile south?
The cyclist ends up 1 mile east of the starting point (unless the cycling takes place near the north or south pole!). So the displacement is 1 mile in an easterly 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
A radio controlled car rolls 10 m south then reverses direction and rolls 8 m north The car has traveled a distance of 18 m and has a displacement of m south?

If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
A -2 displacement towards the north represents a positive displacement towards the south?
Indeed it is.

3 blocks east
An object moves 15.0 m north and then 11.0 m south Find both the distance traveled and the magnitude of the displacement vector?
The total distance traveled (corresponding to the amount of gas the car would burn on such a trip) is 26 meters.The magnitude of the displacement vector = (Dfinal - Dinitial) = 4 meters north.
What is reverses direction and rolls 8 m north The car has traveled a distance of 18 m and has a displacement of m south?

A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?
Distance 2+3=5 displacement 2

The displacement of the car is 5 km to the east.

Where did the Phoenician's travel to?
The Phoenicians traveled to many countries at the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. They first traveled to Egypt, then traveled along the north coast of Africa until they landed at the Phoenician colony of Carthage. Again they set sail, passing through the strait of Gibraltar and heading north along the coast of Spain, staying close to the coast of Europe, they finally steer for the remote island of Britain.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south km north 5 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
