What’s the question or problem ?
For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.
As these are distances created by moving in a straight line, using a trigonometric analysis can solve the missing single straight-line displacement. Looking at the 48m and 12m movements as legs of a triangle, obtaining the hypotenuse using the pythagorean theorem will yield us the correct answer.
This is shown below:
c^2 = 48^2 + 12^2
c = sqrt(2304 + 144)
c = sqrt(2448)
c = 49.48 m
To obtain the angle at which Anthony walks 49.48, we obtain the arc tangent of (12/48). This is shown below:
arc tan (12/48) =14.04 degrees.
Therefore, Anthony could have walked 49.48 m towards the S 14.04 W direction.
Answer:
Your correct answer is option C. Displacement is equal to the total distance traveled by an object in motion.
Explanation:
This is something that is definitely not a displacement.
