Answer:

Magnitude of it's displacement = 1,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance towards east = 800 km

Distance towards north = 600 km

Find:

Magnitude of it's displacement

Computation:

Magnitude of it's displacement = √800² + 600²

Magnitude of it's displacement = √640000 + 360000

Magnitude of it's displacement = √10000000

Magnitude of it's displacement = 1,000 km
