Question

Imagine that you are going to visit your friend. Before you get there, you decide to stop at the variety store. If you walk 200 m (N) from your home to the store, and then travel 600 m [S] to your friend's house, what is your total displacement?​

Answer 1

Answer:

400m

Explanation:

Brainliest? :))

Let your initial displacement from your home to the store be

Dd

>

1 and your displacement from the store to your friend’s house

be Dd

>

2.

Given: Dd

>

1 = 200 m [N]; Dd

>

2 = 600 m [S]

Required: Dd

>

T

Analysis: Dd

>

T 5 Dd

>

1 1 Dd

>

2

Solution: Figure 6 shows the given vectors, with the tip of Dd

>

1

joined to the tail of Dd

>

2. The resultant vector Dd

>

T is drawn in red,

from the tail of Dd

>

1 to the tip of Dd

>

2. The direction of Dd

>

T is [S].

Dd

T measures 4 cm in length in Figure 6, so using the scale of

1 cm : 100 m, the actual magnitude of Dd

>

T is 400 m.

Statement: Relative to your starting point at your home, your

total displacement is 400 m [S].
