If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
Why positive displacement are called positive?
Because it has been decided that the right and upwards directions in a plane are the positive directions and the left and downwards are negative. Originally, the decisions were arbitrary but conventionally agreed (in the same sort of way that North is usually shown at the top of a map). Any displacement in a positive direction is called a positive displacement.
If person moves a distance of 3 km towards east then 2 km towards north and then 3.5 km towards east find displacement covered by the person?
To find the displacement, we can determine the final position relative to the starting point. The person moves 3 km east, then 3.5 km east (totaling 6.5 km east), and 2 km north. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the displacement is calculated as the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the eastward and northward distances: ( \sqrt{(6.5^2 + 2^2)} = \sqrt{(42.25 + 4)} = \sqrt{46.25} \approx 6.8 ) km. Thus, the total displacement is approximately 6.8 km at an angle north of east.
What is the velocity of an airplane that experiences a displacement of 580 m in the north direction in 2.5 s?
The craft's velocity is 232 meters per second north.
What is Displacement of 1 mile northeast then 1 miles south?
Displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from the starting point to the ending point, along with the direction. If you move 1 mile northeast and then 1 mile south, your final position will be approximately 0.5 miles east and 0.5 miles north of your original starting point. Thus, the overall displacement can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, resulting in a displacement of about 1.41 miles at an angle of 45 degrees north of east.
If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
A car moved 50 km to the North. what is the displacement?
The displacement of the car is 50 km North. Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the shortest distance and direction from the initial to the final position of an object.
Why positive displacement are called positive?
Because it has been decided that the right and upwards directions in a plane are the positive directions and the left and downwards are negative. Originally, the decisions were arbitrary but conventionally agreed (in the same sort of way that North is usually shown at the top of a map). Any displacement in a positive direction is called a positive displacement.
If an archer shoots an arrow into a target 53 m north of his position what do you call the magnitude of the arrow's displacement?
The magnitude of the arrow's displacement would be 53 meters north. Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the distance and direction between the initial and final positions.
Can a position time graph tell in which directionthe displacement of an object is?
Yes, a position-time graph can tell you the direction of the displacement of an object. If the slope of the graph is positive, the object is moving in the positive direction. If the slope is negative, the object is moving in the negative direction.
If person moves a distance of 3 km towards east then 2 km towards north and then 3.5 km towards east find displacement covered by the person?

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.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south .5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
What does N normally mean on a map?
N usually represents north on a map, indicating the direction towards the North Pole. It helps orient the map and provides a reference point for determining other directions.
Represents 90 degrees north latitude?
It represents the north pole
What is the displacement of a car if it drives 20miles north and then 3 miles south?
It's 17.0m North. (20N - 3S)
