Answer:
- jogger runs 218 meters eastward, then 172 meters westward, then 62 meters eastward, and finally 184 meters westward. For this motion, what is the distance moved? What is the magnitude and direction of the displacement?
Explanation:
- total distance=536 m
- total displacement=24 m.
- please make it a brainliest answer.
The distance moved is 636 meters.
The magnitude and direction of displacement are 76 westward.
Given,
a jogger runs 218 meters eastward, then 172 meters westward, then 62 meters eastward, and finally 184 meters westward.
To Find,
The distance moved.
The magnitude and the direction.
Solution,
The distance between objects is the total distance an object travels without taking into account its direction. The distance can be defined as how far an object has traveled irrespective of its origin or destination.
Formula:-
d = Sum of all distances.
Displacement refers to the change in the position of an object. This vector quantity has a direction and magnitude.
D = x1- x2
Now, we will solve the question,
The total distance moved,
= 218 + 172 + 62 + 184
= 636 meters.
The magnitude and direction of the displacement,
= 218 - 172 +62 + 184
= -76
So, the direction is westward.
The distance moved is 636 meters.
The magnitude and direction of displacement are 76 westward.
