If you want the distance from the starting point, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. You can also use your calculator's rectangular --> polar conversion; this will give you not only the distance, but also the angle.
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.
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.
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.
The resultant is 220 ms North (1450 - 1230 = 220). It is the net displacement when adding the two displacements in opposite directions.
100 km and 75 km are displacements, NOT velocities. The resultant displacement is 25 km north,

find the resultant of the following displacement a=20km 30south of east
It's 17.0m North. (20N - 3S)
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.
The resultant is 2 km South.
Draw a vector from his starting point to his ending point.
a hiker walks 15 mi due east, then heads due north for 8 km. what is the direction of the resultant vector?

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!
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.
