Answer:
72.1 m
Explanation:
Hello!
When the walker walks west, each block he walks will be of 100 m, so the walker walked 4*100m = 400 m west.
Similarly, when the walker walks south, he walks 20 meters per block, therefore, the walker walked 4*20 m = 80 m south.
Since the directions west and south are perpendicular, the distance between the start ad end point is:
d = √(400^2 + 80^2) m = 407.92 m
However the walker traveled 480 m
Therefore, the walker traveled 480 - 407.9 m = 72.1 m farther than the actual distance
Imagine a block with A pulling one way and B the other.
If A is bigger than B then obviously it will go in the direction of A.
The net force will be A-B as A is pulling it along with x but b is also pulling back with y.
