A dog walks 6m north 4m soutch What is the total displcement of the dog from the starting point?

"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).

Examples of vector quantities?

Vector quantities are quantities that have directionality as well as magnitude. Displacement (meters North) vs Distance (meters) Velocity (meters per second North) vs Speed (meters per second)


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.
