The total displacement of the dog can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. After running W meters north and then W meters east, the dog's path forms a right triangle where both legs are W meters. The total displacement is the hypotenuse, which is √(W² + W²) = √(2W²) = W√2. Thus, the total displacement of the dog is W√2 meters in a northeast direction.

To find the total displacement, we consider the dog’s initial and final positions. The dog runs 80 meters to chase the ball and then returns 80 meters back to its starting point, resulting in no net displacement from that segment. Finally, when the dog runs 20 meters south, the total displacement is 20 meters to the south. Thus, the total displacement is 20 meters 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.

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.
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.

The answer is 80 because 100-30+10 is 80.
If a person walks 10 meters north and then walks 10 meters south, their total displacement would be zero since they would end up back where they started.
"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).
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.
