If you want the distance from the starting point, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. You can also use your calculator's rectangular --> polar conversion; this will give you not only the distance, but also the angle.

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.
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
What is resultant velocity of the plane if a plane travels 100 km per hour to the north with a headwind of 25 km per hour towards the south?
The resultant velocity of a plane is 75 km/hr.
Sally walks 4 m North3 m East 2 m North and then 4 m West what is her displacement?
Total of 6m north and 1m west. Using Pythagoras that's sqrt(36+4) miles in total at an angle whose tangent is 1/6, west of north.
Calculate the resultant of the pair of velocities 100 km north and 75 km south?
100 km and 75 km are displacements, NOT velocities. The resultant displacement is 25 km north,
How do you find north south east west?
find the resultant of the following displacement a=20km 30south of east
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south and 5 km north?
The resultant is 2 km South.
What is the displacement of a car if it drives 20miles north and then 3 miles south?
It's 17.0m North. (20N - 3S)
What is the resultant of 1230 ms South and 1450 ms North?
The resultant is 220 North.
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
A radio controlled car rolls 10 miles south then reverses direction and rolls 8 miles north The car has traveled a distance of 18 miles and has a displacement of miles south?
2
Andrea walked 1 block north and than 2 blocks west how you determine her total displacement?
subtract 1 from 2
Mark walked 2 miles east then 1 mile north How would you determine his total displacement?
Draw a vector from his starting point to his ending point.
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
How is the velocity of an object different from the speed of an object?
Velocity of a moving body is its rate of DISPLACEMENT with respect to time. But speed is distance traveled per unit time. The difference between speed and velocity is that velocity has a direction. 30mph is a speed. 30mph due north is a velocity. Well not really because 'north' is arbitrary but you get the idea. Displacement is both a distance and direction. 30 miles is a distance. 30 miles to the north is a displacement. A two part quantity like velocity or displacement is called a 'vector quantity'. A one part quantity (speed, distance etc) is called a 'scalar quantity'.
