If sam walks 100 m to the right, then 200 m to the left, his net displacement will be 224 m
What is displacement?
Displacement is the distance travelled in specific direction. For example 4 Km south is called displacement because it gives us the distance travelled nor thawed.
Data obtained from the question
From the question given above, the following data were obtained
- Displacement 1 = 100 m right
- Displacement 2 = 200 m left
- Net displacement (R) =?
How to determine the net displacement
See attached photo for diagram
R = √[(Displacement 1)² + (Displacement 1)²]
R = √[100² + 200²]
R = √[10000 + 40000]
R = √50000
R = 224 m
