Total displacement is 2 meters.
"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).
Yes, magnetic fields point from north to south.
A compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, which has a north and south pole. The north-seeking end of the magnet is attracted to the Earth's magnetic south pole, causing the needle to point north.
Magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet.
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.
The North and South Poles.
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line that runs north and south at 0 degrees longitude. It serves as the starting point for measuring east and west location coordinates on the Earth's surface.

south pole This is not the correct answer...DuFuss
The point farthest north on Earth is the North Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude. The point farthest south on Earth is the South Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.
The North and South Hemispheres are divided by the Equator, an imaginary line that circles the Earth at its widest point. The Equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and serves as the starting point for measuring latitude in both directions.
Longitude lines run vertically on a map from the North Pole to the South Pole. They measure the east-west position of a point on Earth relative to the Prime Meridian, which is the starting point at 0 degrees longitude.
You finish 2 blocks east and 8 blocks south of your starting point.
The obvious answer is 5 miles. The not-so-obvious part is it depends on where he is when he starts. If he is on the equator, he is five miles from his point of origin. If his starting point was the south pole, and he drives five miles north, then west, then south, he will arrive back at his starting point. Before you disagree, consider that he is driving on a sphere not a flat plain.
