To calculate displacement, we determine the net change in position from the starting point. Starting at the origin, you walk 100 m north, then 20 m east, 30 m south, 50 m west, and finally 70 m south. The net movement in the north-south direction is 100 m north - 30 m south - 70 m south = 0 m, and in the east-west direction, it’s 20 m east - 50 m west = -30 m (or 30 m west). Therefore, the displacement is 30 m west.

If you walk 110 meters west then 80 meters north then 110 meters east then 140 meters south what is your displacement?

the east /west distances are the same but the north south are different. so subtract the north from the south distances and you end up with 60 meters south.


What is your displacement if you walk 100m north 20m east 30m south 50m west and 70m south?

Your displacement is 150m south. Displacement is the shortest distance and direction from the starting point to the final point, so you need to consider the overall movement, not just the sum of distances in each direction.


Sarah walks part way around around a swimming pool She walks 50 yards north then 20 yards east and 50 yards south The magnitude of her total displacement during the walk is how many yards?

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.


What is the total displacement of a child who walks 4 m south 2 m north 5 m south 5 m north?

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.

Ask us anythingMackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south. What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk (in blocks)?

To find Mackinzie's total displacement, we can analyze her movement. She walks 4 blocks west, 2 blocks south, 4 blocks east, and then 1 block south. After moving west and then east, her net east-west displacement is 0 blocks. Her total southward movement is 3 blocks (2 blocks + 1 block). Therefore, the magnitude of her total displacement is 3 blocks south.


Where is it possible for a person to walk one kilometer south one kilometer east and one kilometer north and end up in the exact same place?

Either the north or south pole. It would have to be the north pole. You can't walk south from the south pole. Using cardinal directions as a guide you can walk south from the south pole. Using general directions it could only be the north pole.
