What is the resultant displacement of someone who runs 5 miles east and 4 miles west?

5 miles minus 4 miles is 1 mile East of the starting point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it must have magnitude and direction.


Explain how the displacement of an object could be zero while the distance traveled was 150 miles?

Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.


What is Displacement of 1 mile northeast then 1 miles 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.


What is the acceleration of a inline skater going straight and goes from 3 miles to 9 miles in 3 seconds?

The acceleration cannot be determined with this information. The beginning and ending velocity needs to be known. You can determine her average velocity, however. average velocity = displacement/time = (9mi - 3mi)/3s = 6m/3s = 2m/s


If a six cylinder has a cylinder diameter of 3 inches and a stroke length of 3 inches the total engine displacement is approximately?

One cylinder would have a displacement of 21.2 cubic inches. By multiplying this displacement by the number of cylinders, in this case 6, the total displacement would be approximately 127 cubic inches. Area of circle pi x radius squared x length of stroke = one cylinder's displacement. be sure to use same units for area as well as stroke.

A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?

Well, honey, the person traveled a total distance of 5 miles. Their displacement, on the other hand, is the shortest distance from their starting point to their end point, which you can calculate using the Pythagorean theorem. So grab your calculator and get to work, darling!

A radio controlled car rolls 10 miles south then reverses direction and rolls 8 miles north The car has traveled a distance of 18 miles and has a displacement of miles south?

The car has traveled a total distance of 18 miles (10 miles south + 8 miles north), but its displacement is 2 miles south. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, regardless of the actual path taken.

A hiker leaves camp and hikes 9 miles north and then hikes 7 miles east What is the resulting displacement of the hiker?

The resulting displacement can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem: (9 miles)^2 + (7 miles)^2 = c^2 81 + 49 = c^2 c = √130 Therefore, the resulting displacement is approximately 11.4 miles in a northeast direction.

What is the distance and the displacement of the race car driverd in the Indy 500?

The distance is 500 miles because that is how far the race is run. The displacement is 0 miles because since the race starts and stops at the same point, they went 500 miles and didnt actually go anywhere.
