Sample question
A student walks 3 m east and then 4 m north. What is the student's displacement?
  • 7 m
  • 5 m at about 53° north of east
  • 1 m
  • 12 m
Show the worked answer

Answer: B

Displacement is the straight line from start to finish, so Pythagoras gives √(3² + 4²) = 5 m, and tan⁻¹(4 ÷ 3) gives about 53° north of east. The 7 m option is the total distance walked, which ignores direction. The 1 m option subtracts the legs, and the 12 m option multiplies them, and neither represents a vector sum.
