1 answer:
Explanation:
It is given that, a cross-country skier moves 32 meters westward, then 54 meters eastward, and finally 68 meters westward.
The attached figure shows the whole scenario. He starts walking 32 m west and finally it walks 68 m west.
Let west is negative and east is positive.
Displacement = final position - initial position
= -68 - (-32)
= -36 m
The magnitude of displacement is equal to 30 m westwards.
