Question
You are hungry and decide to go to your favorite neighborhood fast-food restaurant. You leave your apartment and take the elevator 10 flights down (each flight is 3.0 m) and then go 15 m south to the apartment exit. You then proceed 0.2 km east, turn north, and go 0.1 km to the entrance of the restaurant.
A. Find the displacement from your apartment to the restaurant.
B. How far did you travel along the path you took from your apartment to the restaurant?
C. What is the magnitude of the displacement you calculated in part A?

Answer:
Explanation:
first displacement, d’ = 10 x 3 = 30 m vertically downward
second displacement, d” = 15 m due south
third displacement, d”’ = 0.2 km due east = 200 m due east
forth displacement, d”” = 0.1 km due north = 100 m due north
Write the displacements in the vector form.
(A) The total displacement is given by
(B) The total distance traveled is
d = 30 + 15 + 200 + 100
d = 345 m
(C) The magnitude of the displacement is
d = 239.22 m
