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.
south
Indeed it is.
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.
To find the total displacement, we calculate the net movement in the north-south direction. The child walks 4 m south and then 5 m south, totaling 9 m south. They then walk 2 m north and 5 m north, totaling 7 m north. The net displacement is 9 m south - 7 m north = 2 m 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.

The total displacement is 2km north, as the southward and northward displacements cancel each other out.

Indeed it is.
The displacement of the hiker can be found by treating the eastward and northward movements as vectors. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the displacement is the square root of the sum of the squares of the distances traveled in each direction. In this case, the displacement is √(3.0 km)^2 + (4.0 km)^2 = √(9 km^2 + 16 km^2) = √25 km^2 = 5.0 km. Therefore, the displacement of the hiker is 5.0 km in a direction that is 53.1 degrees north of east.
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.
The total displacement of the dog from the starting point can be calculated by finding the net displacement, which is the difference between the distances moved in each direction. In this case, the net displacement would be 6m north - 4m south, resulting in a total displacement of 2m north.
