What else can I help you with?
A person walks 3 miles north, turns and walks 2 miles east. Calculate the persons distance traveled and their displacement?
Well, honey, the person traveled a total distance of 5 miles. Their displacement, on the other hand, is the shortest distance from their starting point to their end point, which you can calculate using the Pythagorean theorem. So grab your calculator and get to work, darling!
What is the resultant displacement of someone who runs 5 miles east and 4 miles west?
5 miles minus 4 miles is 1 mile East of the starting point. Displacement is a vector quantity, so it must have magnitude and direction.
What is the Displacement traveling 23km east and the 15 km west?
The total displacement is 8 km.
A girl walks 15 miles west she turns around and walks 8 miles east what is the girls distance and displacement?
She has walked 23 miles, but her displacement is only 7 miles.
If person moves a distance of 3 km towards east then 2 km towards north and then 3.5 km towards east find displacement covered by the person?
To find the displacement, we can determine the final position relative to the starting point. The person moves 3 km east, then 3.5 km east (totaling 6.5 km east), and 2 km north. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the displacement is calculated as the hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the eastward and northward distances: ( \sqrt{(6.5^2 + 2^2)} = \sqrt{(42.25 + 4)} = \sqrt{46.25} \approx 6.8 ) km. Thus, the total displacement is approximately 6.8 km at an angle north of east.
Mark walked 2 miles east then 1 mile north How would you determine his total displacement?
Draw a vector from his starting point to his ending point.
What is Displacement of 1 mile northeast then 1 miles south?
Displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from the starting point to the ending point, along with the direction. If you move 1 mile northeast and then 1 mile south, your final position will be approximately 0.5 miles east and 0.5 miles north of your original starting point. Thus, the overall displacement can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, resulting in a displacement of about 1.41 miles at an angle of 45 degrees north of 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.
A hiker leaves camp and hikes 9 miles north and then hikes 7 miles east What is the resulting displacement of the hiker?
The resulting displacement can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem: (9 miles)^2 + (7 miles)^2 = c^2 81 + 49 = c^2 c = √130 Therefore, the resulting displacement is approximately 11.4 miles in a northeast direction.
What is the displacement of a car traveling 10 km north 5 km east 15 km south and 5 km north?
What is the displacement of a car traveling 10 km north 5km east 15 km south and 5 km north?
What is a person's total displacement when they walk 20 meters North 40 meters East 50 meters South and 20 meters East?

Can displacement be more than distance?
No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
