To find the soccer ball's displacement, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
The distance kicked north is 6m, while the distance kicked east is 3m.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Displacement = √(6^2 + 3^2)
Displacement = √(36 + 9)
Displacement = √45
Displacement ≈ 6.7m
Therefore, the soccer ball's displacement from where it was first kicked is approximately 6.7m northeast.
The distance kicked north is 6m, while the distance kicked east is 3m.
Using the Pythagorean theorem:
Displacement = √(6^2 + 3^2)
Displacement = √(36 + 9)
Displacement = √45
Displacement ≈ 6.7m
Therefore, the soccer ball's displacement from where it was first kicked is approximately 6.7m northeast.
