3 blocks east
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 3.00 blocks west 4.00 blocks north then 6.00 blocks east what is her displacement?
The girl's displacement can be calculated by finding the net distance and direction from her starting point to her ending point. Using the Pythagorean theorem, her displacement would be approximately 5.00 blocks in a northeast direction.
A person drives north 6 bolcks then turns west and drives 6 blocks the driver then turns south and drives 6 blocks how could the driver make the distance shorter while maintaining the displacement?
move 6 blocks west
Edward and his family are sightseeing They walk two blocks north four blocks west and two blocks south All together theyve walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of?
Edward and his family are sightseeing. They walk two blocks north, four blocks west and two blocks south. All together they have walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude only of 8. 2+4+2=8
How is distance and displacement the same?
The distance and displacement are the same when the displacement is parallel to itself or straight. Displacement is a vector and distance is a real number or scalar. If an object is displaced around a circle the displacement is zero and the distance is 2pi r.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south km north 5 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Fred will be four blocks from his starting place if he travels two blocks north then three blocks east and then two blocks south.?
That is incorrect. The distance travelled north cancels out the distance travelled south. Therefore - he only travels three blocks east.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 5 km south .5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
What is the correct displacement for the following vectors 4 km south 2 km north 2 km south and 5 km north?
The displacement is a shortest distance. Here, the displacement will be 1 km. It will be in the North direction.
Edward and his family are sightseeing they walk two blocks north four blocks west and two blocks south all together they've walked blocks and have a total displacement magnitude of four blocks?
8 R1CO95- Well eight not 8. ^_^
