The displacement of the hiker can be found by treating the eastward and northward movements as vectors. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the displacement is the square root of the sum of the squares of the distances traveled in each direction. In this case, the displacement is √(3.0 km)^2 + (4.0 km)^2 = √(9 km^2 + 16 km^2) = √25 km^2 = 5.0 km. Therefore, the displacement of the hiker is 5.0 km in a direction that is 53.1 degrees north of east.

A hiker leaves camp and hikes 9 miles north and then hikes 7 miles east What is the resulting displacement of the hiker?

The resulting displacement can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem: (9 miles)^2 + (7 miles)^2 = c^2 81 + 49 = c^2 c = √130 Therefore, the resulting displacement is approximately 11.4 miles in a northeast direction.


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.

What is the total displacement of a student who walks 3 blocks east 2 blocks north 1 block westand then 2 blocks south?

To calculate the total displacement, we can break down the student's movements into net east-west and north-south components. The student walks 3 blocks east, 1 block west (net 2 blocks east), and 2 blocks north, then 2 blocks south (net 0 blocks north). Therefore, the total displacement is 2 blocks east, resulting in a final displacement of 2 blocks east.

Will two hikers using a forest trail always reach the same point if each of them takes four opposite displacements why or why not?

Not always. They must start at the same point and their displacements must be equal and opposite in order for them to return to the same starting point together.ExampleStarting at the same place, hiker A walks 1km north and hiker B walks 1km south. Hiker A then walks 1km west and hiker B walks 1km east. Hiker A then walks 1km south and hiker B walks 1km north. Finally, hiker A walks 1km east and hiker B walks 1km west, and they both end up together where they started.
