1) Distance: 44 blocks
2) Displacement: 10.2 blocks at north of east
Explanation:
1)
- Distance is a scalar quantity that gives a measure of the total length of the path travelled by an object, regardless of its direction
- Displacement is a vector quantity which connects the initial position to the final position of motion of the object. Being a vector, it has both magnitude and direction: the magnitude is the shortest distance between initial and final position, while the direction goes from the initial to the final position.
In this problem, the motion is:
18 blocks north
10 blocks east
16 blocks south
So, the distance is the sum of the distances covered in each part:
distance = 18 + 10 + 16 = 44 blocks
2)
The displacement can be calculated by evaluating the initial and the final position. Along the north-south direction, the displacement is
blocks north
Along the east-west direction,
blocks east)
So, the magnitude of the displacement is given by Pythagorean's theorem
blocks
And the direction is given by
measured as north of east.
