Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north. the distance that she walks is 13 blocks. what is her displacement?
Meg's displacement is the straight-line distance from her starting point to her ending point. She walks 5 blocks south and then returns 8 blocks north, resulting in a net movement of 3 blocks north from her original position. Therefore, her displacement is 3 blocks north.
Meg walks 5 blocks south and then turns around and walks 8 blocks back to the north the distance she walks is 13 blocks what is her displacement?
If Meg walks 5 blocks south, then turns around and walks 8 blocks back, her displacement is 3 blocks.
Someone walked three blocks east then two blocks south one block west and finally two blocks north they traveled a distance of eight blocks and have a displacement of what blocks east?
3 blocks east
Is 3 blocks east a displacement?
Yes. A displacement is a vector. A vector is some sort of magnitude and a direction. Since 3 blocks is a magnitue(it is a distance) and east is a direction, the quantity is a vector, and therefore, a displacement. However, if you did not include a direction, the quantity is scalar, meaning it has magnitude, but no direction. Saying "Walk Three Blocks" could mean to walk three blocks in any direction. Not very useful. Hope this helps!
What is the total displacement of a student who walks 3 blocks east 2 blocks north 1 block westand then 2 blocks south?
To calculate the total displacement, we can break down the student's movements into net east-west and north-south components. The student walks 3 blocks east, 1 block west (net 2 blocks east), and 2 blocks north, then 2 blocks south (net 0 blocks north). Therefore, the total displacement is 2 blocks east, resulting in a final displacement of 2 blocks east.
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.
If a person walks 3 blocks East and 4 blocks North what is the displacement of the person?
5 blocks
A person drives north 6 blocks then drives west 6 blocks. The displacement is a straight line from the starting point to the finish in a direction.?
To find the displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The person drives 6 blocks north and 6 blocks west, forming a right triangle with both legs measuring 6 blocks. The displacement is the hypotenuse of this triangle, calculated as √(6² + 6²) = √72, which simplifies to 6√2 blocks. The direction of the displacement is northwest.
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?
A girl delivering newspapers covers her route by traveling 10.00 blocks west, 4.00 blocks north, and then 2.00 blocks east Opposite = 4 (related to y axis on 4 blocks north) Adjacent = 8 (related to x axis on 10 b west - 2 blocks east) tan -1 x (4/8) tan theta - 26.6 degrees since you are looking for the hypotenuse, then sin theta = opp/hyp sin 26.6=4/hypotenuse 4/sin(26.6) = 8.9 blocks
What is displacement made by the stranger from the origin to the Mini store?
The displacement made by the stranger from the origin to the Mini store is 5 blocks north and 3 blocks east. This can be represented by a vector with a magnitude of 5 blocks and a direction of 37 degrees north of east.
Is this True or false Five blocks south is an example of displacement?
True.
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
