To determine the displacement of the walker, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The walker travels 4 km east and 3 km north, forming a right triangle with these two legs. The displacement (d) is the hypotenuse, calculated as ( d = \sqrt{(4^2 + 3^2)} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 ) km. Therefore, the displacement of the walker is 5 km in a direction northeast.

If mark walked 2 miles east then 1 mile north how would you determine his total displacement?

To determine Mark's total displacement, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. He walked 2 miles east and 1 mile north, forming a right triangle where the legs are 2 miles and 1 mile. The displacement is the hypotenuse, calculated as √(2² + 1²) = √(4 + 1) = √5, which is approximately 2.24 miles in a northeast direction.


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.
