north = 6 - 4 = 2 and distance 10
west 4-4 = 0 and distance 8
so
distance = 18 km
displacement = 2 North
west 4-4 = 0 and distance 8
so
distance = 18 km
displacement = 2 North
1. The man moves 6km due north.
2. Then he moves 4km due west.
3. Next, he moves 4km southwards.
4. Finally, he moves 4km eastwards.
Total Distance = 6km + 4km + 4km + 4km = 18km
To find the displacement, we need to find the straight-line distance and direction from the starting point to the final position.
1. The man moves 6km due north.
2. Then he moves 4km due west, which will not change the north-south position.
3. Next, he moves 4km southwards, which negates the initial north movement.
4. Finally, he moves 4km eastwards, which brings him back to the initial starting point.
Since the final position is the same as the initial position, the displacement is 0km.
