Answer:
Total Displacement = -18m
Explanation:
Given
East Movement = 38m and 27m
West Movement = 47m
Required
Determine the total displacement
To answer this, we consider east as negative direction and the west as positive (using logics of number line).
Total Displacement = East Movement + West Movement
Total Displacement = -38m - 27m + 47m
Total Displacement = -18m
Hence, the total displacement is 18m towards East
