Mike walks 100 meters north then walks 30 meters south After this he walks another 10 meters north What is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk in meters?
80
What is the total displacement of a dog that runs north 80 meters to chase a ball returns to its mater and then runs south 20 meters?
20m
If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
A -2 displacement towards the north represents a positive displacement towards the south?
Indeed it is.
What is the direction and magnitude of your total displacement if you have traveled due west with a speed of 25 meters per second for 140 seconds then due south at 15 meters per second for 67 seconds?
25 m/s for 140 sDistance = Rate X Timeso..........due west displacement = 3500 meters ( call this a )due south displacement = 1005 meters ( call this b )you are looking for the hypotenuse of a triangle and your direction will be south westerlya^2 + b^2 = c^2 ( you want c )c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)= 3641.43 meters as magnitudeDirection of displacement from start point is arctan (1005 / 3500) = 16.021 degrees.For interest the true compass direction from start point will be 270 - 16.021 = 253.98 degrees (true) on a chart. Compass degrees measure clockwise, starting at North is 0°
If you walk 110 meters west then 80 meters north then 110 meters east then 140 meters south what is your displacement?
the east /west distances are the same but the north south are different. so subtract the north from the south distances and you end up with 60 meters south.
What is the total displacement of a person that travels 80 meters due South than travels another 50 meters due north?
The total displacement is 30 meters South. Displacement is the difference between the initial and final positions of an object, irrespective of the path taken. In this case, the person returns partially to the initial position after moving North by 50 meters.
Mike walks 100 meters north then walks 30 meters south After this he walks another 10 meters north What is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk in meters?
80
What is the total displacement of a dog that runs north 80 meters to chase a ball returns to its master and then runs south 20 meters?
20 meters
A boy first walks 120 meters north then turns around and walks 120 meters south his total displacement is?
zero
What is the total displacement of a dog that runs north 80 meters to chase a ball returns to its mater and then runs south 20 meters?
20m
A dog walks 6m north 4m south What is the total displcement of the dog from the starting point?
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.
Mike walks 100 meters north then walks 30 meters south. After this he walks another 10 meters north. What is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk in meters?
The answer is 80 because 100-30+10 is 80.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south km north 5 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
A dog walks 6m north 4m soutch What is the total displcement of the dog from the starting point?
"Displacement" in physics usually referrs to the net change in position - meaning, take a snapshot of the dog before he starts moving and a snapshot of the dog when he's finished moving, and the distance between his two positions is his net displacement. Nothing he does in between affects the result - only where he starts and where he ends up.If you walk 6 meters north and then turn around and walk 4 meters south, I hope it makes sense that you are now standing 2 meters north of the point where you started. This is your net displacement (2 meters north).
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 2 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
If the displacement is negative 2 north and represents a positive displacement What is the direction?
south
