Question

if an objects first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m West, what is the magnitude of the displacement made overall?

Answer 1

If an object's first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m west, the magnitude of the overall displacement made would be 5.0 meters in the northwest direction.

What is displacement?

Displacement is a vector quantity. This indicates that it has both a direction and a magnitude and that it is visually represented as an arrow that points from the starting position to the ending position.

As given in the problem if an object's first movement is 3.0m North and another movement is 4.0m west

Resultant displacement can be calculated with the help of the triangle law of the vector addition,

Resultant = √( 3² + 4²)

                =√25

                = 5.0 m

Thus, the magnitude of the overall displacement made would be 5.0 meters in the northwest direction.
