julianna walked 45 meters east, 45 meters souuth, and 45 meters north. what is her resultant displacement?

My answer was 45 meters west. is this correct

OK, now I see the whole question. No, your number is right but you need to check your direction.

Take two steps east, 2 steps north, 2 steps south.

You are now two steps ____ of where you started.

No, your answer of 45 meters west is not correct.

To find the resultant displacement, we need to consider both the direction and magnitude of each movement.

Julianna walked 45 meters east, which means she moved horizontally to the right. The magnitude of this eastward movement is 45 meters.

Next, she walked 45 meters south, which means she moved vertically downwards. The magnitude of this southward movement is also 45 meters.

Lastly, she walked 45 meters north, which means she moved vertically upwards. The magnitude of this northward movement is again 45 meters.

To determine the resultant displacement, we need to add up these individual movements vectorially. Since the east and west movements cancel each other out, we ignore them and only consider the vertical components.

Julianna moved 45 meters downwards (south) and 45 meters upwards (north). Therefore, the net displacement in the vertical direction is 0.

Hence, the resultant displacement is 0 meters, meaning Julianna ended up at the same position where she started.
