Question

consider the motion depicted in the diagram below . a sloth walks 4 meters east,2 meters south,4 meters west,and finally 2 meters north. whats the displacement

Answer 1

We have the following:

Movement is the change in position of a body in a given time. The body that experiences this change in position is called mobile.

The trajectory is the path followed by the body in its movement.

The displacement​ is the distance in a straight line between the start and end position.

In this case, the initial and final position are equal, therefore displacement is 0
