5 miles minus 4 miles is 1 mile East of the starting point.
Displacement is a vector quantity, so it must have magnitude and direction.

What is the resultant displacement if a person walks 46 meters east then 23 km south?
46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
What is the resultant displacement if Mark walked 2 miles east the 1 mile north?
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.
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
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.
What is a person's total displacement when they walk 20 meters North 40 meters East 50 meters South and 20 meters East?

What is the resultant displacement if a person walks 46 meters east then 23 km south?
46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
How do you find north south east west?
find the resultant of the following displacement a=20km 30south of east
What is the resultant displacement if a man travels a distance of 1.5m towards East then 2.0m towards South and finally 4.5m towards east?
6.3 meter
A girl walks 15 miles west she turns around and walks 8 miles east what is the girls distance and displacement?
She has walked 23 miles, but her displacement is only 7 miles.
What is the resultant displacement if Mark walked 2 miles east the 1 mile north?
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.
What is resultant vectors?
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
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
Elizabeth drove 30 miles to the south then drove 50 miles to the east Draw a vector diagram that shows her resultant displacement Be sure to label all vectors?
How about you do your own homework, and in particular that which requires drawing which we can't do here, instead?I don't even think I could describe what to draw in terms any simpler than the question itself.
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
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
Is 5 m east an acceleration?
no. this is a displacement
