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.
If a Displacement vectors of 4 km south 2 km north 5 km north combine to a total displacement of?
To find the total displacement, we can break it down: the 4 km south and the 2 km north result in a net displacement of 2 km south (4 km south - 2 km north = 2 km south). Then, adding the 5 km north gives a total displacement of 3 km north (2 km south + 5 km north = 3 km north). Therefore, the total displacement is 3 km north.
What is the total displacement of a child who walks 4m south 2m north 5m south and 5m north?
To find the total displacement, we need to calculate the net movement in the north-south direction. The child walks 4m south and 5m south, totaling 9m south, and then walks 2m north and 5m north, totaling 7m north. The net displacement is 9m south - 7m north = 2m south. Therefore, the total displacement of the child is 2m south.
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. If the slope is positive, the direction of the displacement is positive (e.g. north, east, or right). If the slope is negative, the direction of the displacement is negative (e.g. south, west, or left).
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.

If a Displacement vectors of 4 km south 2 km north 5 km north combine to a total displacement of?
To find the total displacement, we can break it down: the 4 km south and the 2 km north result in a net displacement of 2 km south (4 km south - 2 km north = 2 km south). Then, adding the 5 km north gives a total displacement of 3 km north (2 km south + 5 km north = 3 km north). Therefore, the total displacement is 3 km north.
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.
What is the displacement of a car if it drives 20miles north and then 3 miles south?
It's 17.0m North. (20N - 3S)
