Question

Marus traveled on a motorcylce distance of 1,298meters north to get to the nearest shopping center. He then turned back south and rode another 1,250 meters to meet his friend. What was his displacement?

Answer 1

48 meters north

Step-by-step explanation:

If you measure the distance between the point Marus started and the point where they stopped after traveling 1,250 meters back south, you get 48 meters. To make this a displacement quantity, you add 'north' to the end and get 48 meters north, considering this was the initial direction of the motorcycle.
