A delivery truck travels 18 blocks north, 10 blocks east, and 16 blacks south What is the distance traveled and displacement? Assume all blocks are the same length
Force Unit

Traveled north = 18 blocks

Traveled east = 10 blocks

Traveled south = 16 blocks

So total distance = (18+10+16) blocks = 44 blocks

as north and south are opposite

so traveled displacement from up to down is = (18-16) blocks = 2 blocks

and starting to east distance is 10 blocks

so using pythagoras theorem the displacement

= blocks

= blocks

= blocks

= 10.198 blocks (approx.)

ANS: distance=44 blocks, displacement=10.198 blocks (approx.)
