To find the total displacement, we calculate the net movement in the north-south direction. The child walks 4 m south and then 5 m south, totaling 9 m south. They then walk 2 m north and 5 m north, totaling 7 m north. The net displacement is 9 m south - 7 m north = 2 m south.
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.
To find the correct displacement, we need to consider the net movement in the north-south direction. Starting from the origin, you move 4 km south, then 2 km north, resulting in a net movement of 2 km south. Next, moving 5 km south brings the total to 7 km south, and finally moving 5 km north results in a net position of 2 km south. Thus, the correct displacement is 2 km south.

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.
2 km south
The total displacement is 2km north, as the southward and northward displacements cancel each other out.
What is the displacement of a car traveling 10 km north 5km east 15 km south and 5 km 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.
To find the correct displacement, we need to consider the net movement in the north-south direction. Starting from the origin, you move 4 km south, then 2 km north, resulting in a net movement of 2 km south. Next, moving 5 km south brings the total to 7 km south, and finally moving 5 km north results in a net position of 2 km south. Thus, the correct displacement is 2 km south.
Sarah's total displacement can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The horizontal displacement is 20 yards east, and the vertical displacement is 50 yards north minus 50 yards south, which equals 0. This means her total displacement is the square root of (20^2 + 0^2) = 20 yards.

To find velocity, we need to calculate the total displacement and divide by the total time taken. April's total displacement is 30 meters north (50 m - 20 m south). Velocity is calculated as displacement/time, so her velocity is 0.5 m/s (30 m / 60 s).

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.
