Answer:
- distance traveled: 30 m
- displacement: 21.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the distance traveled and the displacement after walking 17 m south and 13 m east.
<h3>Distance</h3>The distance traveled is the sum of the lengths of each leg of the trip:
17 m + 13 m = 30 m
You have traveled a distance of 30 m.
<h3>Displacement</h3>The displacement is the distance from your final position to your starting position. If you draw a diagram of the journey, you see the displacement is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 17 m and 13 m. The Pythagorean theorem can help you find this length:
h = √(a² +b²)
h = √(17² +13²) = √(289 +169) = √458 ≈ 21.401
At the end of your walking, you are 21.4 m from where you started.
Caleb is participating in a walk-a-thon. His goal is to walk as far as possible over an 8-hour period.
For the first 3 hours, he keeps a steady pace of 2 miles per hour.
He then stops walking while he takes a 1-hour break for lunch.
It's too short. Write at least 20 characters to explain it well.
