Using X and Y as the map coordinates, where X is east and west (positive or negative) and Y is north and south (positive and negative), and the point 0,0 as a starting point, you can show the following: * 14 blocks north to 0,14 * 16 blocks east to 16, 14 * 26 blocks south to 16, -12 The final location is 12 blocks south and 16 blocks east of the starting point. If there were a straight diagonal street, the truck would be 20 blocks from the start (square root of 122 and 162), just east of a SE direction.

Ask us anythingMackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south. What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk (in blocks)?

To find Mackinzie's total displacement, we can analyze her movement. She walks 4 blocks west, 2 blocks south, 4 blocks east, and then 1 block south. After moving west and then east, her net east-west displacement is 0 blocks. Her total southward movement is 3 blocks (2 blocks + 1 block). Therefore, the magnitude of her total displacement is 3 blocks south.


A person drives north 6 blocks then drives west 6 blocks. The displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish in a direction.?

To find the displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The person drives 6 blocks north and 6 blocks west, forming a right triangle with both legs measuring 6 blocks. The displacement is the hypotenuse of this triangle, calculated as √(6² + 6²) = √72, which simplifies to 6√2 blocks. The direction of the displacement is northwest.


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?

Patrice walks 4.0 blocks east and then turns north and jogs 6.0 blocks. She then turns west and walks another 4.0 blocks. What is the distance she has traveled?

Patrice travels a total of 4.0 blocks east, 6.0 blocks north, and 4.0 blocks west. To find the total distance she has traveled, we simply add these distances together: 4.0 + 6.0 + 4.0 = 14.0 blocks. Therefore, Patrice has traveled a total of 14.0 blocks.

Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south.?

That is incorrect. The distance travelled north cancels out the distance travelled south. Therefore - he only travels three blocks east.


What is displacement made by the stranger from the origin to the Mini store?

The displacement made by the stranger from the origin to the Mini store is 5 blocks north and 3 blocks east. This can be represented by a vector with a magnitude of 5 blocks and a direction of 37 degrees north of east.

Edward and his family are sightseeing. They walk two blocks north, four blocks west and two blocks south. All together they have walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of 8. 2+4+2=8


Is 3 blocks east a displacement?

Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!
