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.

What is the total displacement of a student who walks 3 blocks east 2 blocks north 1 block westand then 2 blocks south?

To calculate the total displacement, we can break down the student's movements into net east-west and north-south components. The student walks 3 blocks east, 1 block west (net 2 blocks east), and 2 blocks north, then 2 blocks south (net 0 blocks north). Therefore, the total displacement is 2 blocks east, resulting in a final displacement of 2 blocks east.


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.


Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north. the distance that she walks is 13 blocks. what is her displacement?

Meg's displacement is the straight-line distance from her starting point to her ending point. She walks 5 blocks south and then returns 8 blocks north, resulting in a net movement of 3 blocks north from her original position. Therefore, her displacement is 3 blocks north.


Mackinzie 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 determine Mackinzie's total displacement, we can analyze her movements. She walks 4 blocks west, then 4 blocks east, which cancels each other out, leaving her 2 blocks south of her starting point (after moving 2 blocks south and then 1 more block south, totaling 3 blocks south). Therefore, her total displacement is 3 blocks directly south.

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.
