QUESTIONS
An ant walks eastward for 11.1 cm, then northward for 4,4 cm and finally westward for 11.1 cm. What is the magnitude of the displacement in cm Do
not include the units in your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

4.4.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this considering the attached picture, we can see that the eastward movement is represented from O to A, the northward displacement from A to B and the westward displacement from B to C, which means that the resulting displacement is marked from O to C which includes the northwards movement since eastward and westward movement are the same.

In such a way, the magnitude of the displacement is simply 4.4 cm as no other dimension is taken into account due to the return to the same initial's x-axis position.

Regards-
