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.

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.

Two boats leave the port at the same time the first boat travels due east at 14mph and the second boat travels at 28mph inthe direction of N30degrees Ehow far apart will the boats be in 12 hr?
After 12 hours, the first boat is at a distance 14*12 = 168 miles east of the port. The second boat is at a distance 28*12*cos(30) = 291.0 miles north and 28*12*sin(30) = 168.0 miles east of the port. Since their Eastward displacement is the same, the distance between the two is the Northwards displacement of the second boat = 291.0 miles.

Emily travels 30 km east to visit Victoria after wards she travels 40 km north to visit star she then returns to her point or origin what was her total displacement?
Displacement (Δx) is the change in position of an object.Δx = xf - xiwhere xf is the final position and xi is the initial position or point of origin.In this case, Emily travels away from xi, but ultimately ends up back where she started, so xi = xf.Since xi = xf,xf - xi = 0.Even though she traveled a distance of 70km, the total displacement is 0.
