An object moves 4 meters north, then 3 meters east. What is the displacement of the object?

Respuesta :

Answer:

5 meters

Explanation:

4  and  3   are legs of a right triangle with the hypotenuse = displacement

Use Pythagorean theorem

4 ^2 + 3^2 = (displacement)^2

displacement = 5 m

The displacement of the object that moved 4 meters north, then 3 meters east is 5 meters.

What is displacement?

Displacement is change in the position of an object. It can be described as the shortest distance between the initial and final position of an object.

The displacement of the object is calculated as follows;

d² = 4² + 3²

d² = 25

d = 5 m

Thus, the displacement of the object that moved 4 meters north, then 3 meters east is 5 meters.
