Question

John traveled on a motorbike a distance of 1,500 meters north to get to the nearest shopping center. He then turned back south and rode

another 1,450 meters to meet his friend. What was his displacement?

Answer 1

50 Meters North

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement is the distance/direction from the start point to

the ending point, regardless of which route you took from the start to the end.

So, you would simply subtract:

1,500 meters North- 1,450 meters South= 50 meters North
