Question

Bailey walks to the pizza place for lunch. To get there, she walks 3 km East, then 8 km south, and then 3 Km East again

What distance did she cover? Please include the number and unit.
What was the magnitude of her displacement? Please include the number and unit.
What was the direction of her displacement? Please abbreviate (N, S, E, W, or some combination)

Answer 1

Total distance she cover = 14km

Magnitude of displacement = 10 km

Direction of her displacement is East-south

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance travel (East) = 3 km

Distance travel to south = 8 km

Distance travel (East) = 3 km

Computation:

Total distance she cover = 3km+8km+3km

Total distance she cover = 14km

Magnitude of displacement =
`√((3+3)^2+(8)^2)\\`

Magnitude of displacement = 10 km

Direction of her displacement is East-south
