5 m east

Ruthie walks 45m east, and then moves 40 m west. If east is chosen as the positive direction, what is Ruthie’s Displacement?

To find Ruthie's resultant displacement, we need to compute the vector sum of her eastward and westward displacements. Given that east is chosen as the positive direction, let's assign positive (+) signs to distances moved east and negative (-) signs to distances moved west.

Ruthie's eastward displacement = +45 m
Ruthie's westward displacement = -40 m

To find the resultant displacement, we add the eastward and westward displacements:

Resultant displacement = +45 m - 40 m
= +5 m

Therefore, Ruthie's resultant displacement is +5 m to the east.

In a lot of math and science problems, it is vital to first understand the meaning/definition of terms.

Here "displacement" is used as:
"final position less initial position".

Use a blank piece of paper to help you figure out the final position with respect to the initial, and propose an answer according to the above definition.
