Question

What is her displacement

Answer 1

c) 2 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

Her displacement is the difference between her starting point and her ending point.

Let's say she starts at the origin, (0, 0).

First, she goes 13 blocks east: (13, 0)

Next, she goes 4 blocks north: (13, 4)

Then she goes 8 blocks west: (5, 4)

Then she goes 6 blocks south: (5, -2)

Finally, she goes 5 blocks west: (0, -2)

The magnitude of her displacement is the distance between her initial and final positions: 2 blocks.
