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.
46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
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.
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.

After 12 hours, the first boat is at a distance 14*12 = 168 miles east of the port. The second boat is at a distance 28*12*cos(30) = 291.0 miles north and 28*12*sin(30) = 168.0 miles east of the port. Since their Eastward displacement is the same, the distance between the two is the Northwards displacement of the second boat = 291.0 miles.
46 squared + 23 squared = the resultant displacement squared. Pythagoras' theorem.
find the resultant of the following displacement a=20km 30south of east

How about you do your own homework, and in particular that which requires drawing which we can't do here, instead?I don't even think I could describe what to draw in terms any simpler than the question itself.
She has walked 23 miles, but her displacement is only 7 miles.
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.
resultant vector is a vector which will have the same effect as the sum of all the component vectors taken together.
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.
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
3 blocks east
no. this is a displacement
