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.

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 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.

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.
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'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 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.
Mary's walk resulted in a displacement of 500 meters east.

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.
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.
Because they had to walk through all the seven continents with no known transportation
