A honeybee leaves its hive and travels 100 m due west, 200 m due south, and then returns to a position 5 m north of its hive. what is its total displacement?

Respuesta :

The total displacement of the honeybee as it travels west, south and north is 219.2 m.

Total displacement of the honeybee

The total displacement of the honeybee is calculated as follows;

total horizontal displacement, x = 100 m due west

total vertical displacement, y = 200 m - 5 m = 195 m

total displacement, d = √x² + y²

d = √(100² + 195²)

d = 219.2 m

Thus, the total displacement of the honeybee as it travels west, south and north is 219.2 m.
