Respuesta :
The distance is 9.0 meters because that's how far the person ran. The displacement is 2.4 meters North because displacement is a speed AND direction. Basically you're calculating how far you are from where you started.
A quarterback pedal 5.7 meters north and then pedals 3.3 meters south. The distance is 9.0 meters, while the northward displacement is 2.4 meters.
What is the distance?
Distance is a numerical representation of the distance between two objects or locations.
The distance can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in physics or common use. |AB| is a symbol for the distance between two points A and B.
The value of the distance is found as;
[tex]\rm S= 3.3 \ m+5.7 m\\\\ S= 9.0 \ m[/tex]
The value of the displacement is found as;
[tex]\rm \vec S= 5.7 \vec j-3.3 \vec j\\\\ \vec S=2.4 \vec j \ m[/tex]
Hence, the distance is 9.0 meters, while the northward displacement is 2.4 meters.
