What is your displacement if you walk 100 m north 20 m east 30 m south 50 m west and then 70 m south?

To calculate displacement, we determine the net change in position from the starting point. Starting at the origin, you walk 100 m north, then 20 m east, 30 m south, 50 m west, and finally 70 m south. The net movement in the north-south direction is 100 m north - 30 m south - 70 m south = 0 m, and in the east-west direction, it’s 20 m east - 50 m west = -30 m (or 30 m west). Therefore, the displacement is 30 m west.

How do you calculate radius vectors?

According to http://mathworld.wolfram.com/RadiusVector.html the radius vector (often written as r hat, or the letter r with a carrot ^ over it) is just the distance from the origin to the point of interest. So the magnitude is the distance between the point and the origin, and the direction is the direction from the origin to the point.

What is the displacement of an object that moves from the origin to a position at -12m?

The displacement of an object that moves from the origin to a position at -12m is -12m. Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the shortest distance and direction from the initial to the final position of an object. In this case, the negative sign indicates that the final position is in the opposite direction from the origin.


What is the term for the direction and distance you are from your origin?

That term is called "displacement." It refers to the change in position of an object, characterized by both direction and distance from its origin point.


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.


What is the origin of 0 zero?

the origin is define as the point (0,0) it means no motion or no displacement


How to calculate distance from a velocity time graph?

To calculate distance from a velocity time graph, find the area under the velocity-time curve. If the graph is above the time axis, sum the areas of each individual shape formed between the curve and the time axis. If the graph is below the time axis, subtract the areas of the shapes below the time axis from the areas above the time axis.

What settings describe a displacement versus time graph?

Location and vector how they are Related?

In mathematics, a vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. When discussing the location of a point in space, a vector can be used to describe the displacement from an origin point to that location. Therefore, the location of a point and its vector are related in terms of specifying both where the point is and in what direction it is positioned from a reference point.


How can you obtain the average velocity and instantaneous velocity from a displacement time graph?

You cannot because a dispacement-time graph is concerned only with motion in a radial direction; any motion in a transverse direction is completely ignored. For example, an object circling the origin at a fixed distance, even with a variable speed, is always at the same distance from the origin. So the displacement-time graph will be a straight line whose height is the radial distance. A straight line in the distance-time graph is to be interpreted as no motion! Really?!The average velocity in the radial direction is the final displacement minus the starting [initial] displacement, all divided by the difference in time between the two points. The instantaneous velocity in the radial direction is the slope [gradient] of the graph at the point in question.


Can a vector that originates at the origin be equal to a vector that does not originate at the origin?

Yes, they can be of the same magnitude and direction.


The displacement time graph of a body is ll to time axis what will you infer about the velocity of the body?

That the component of the velocity towards or away from the origin is zero. You can infer nothing at all about its overall velocity since it could be travelling in a transverse direction at any velocity.
