Which option accurately describes a scenario in which a car experiences a displacement of 10 m north?
A car starts at a position of 2 m south. It moves 4 m east, 2 m west, and then 2 m north.
A car starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 10 m west, 10 m east, and then 10 m south.
A car starts at a position of 2 m north. It moves 4 m west and then 4 m south.
A car starts at a position of 0 m. It moves 3 m west, 3 m north, 4 m north, 3 m east, and then 3 m north.
D?
d is correct
thank u
To determine which scenario accurately describes a car experiencing a displacement of 10 m north, we need to calculate the net displacement, taking into account the different movements described in each scenario.
In option A, the car starts at a position of 2 m south and moves 4 m east, 2 m west, and then 2 m north. To calculate the net displacement, we need to add up the northward movements and subtract the southward movements. Here, the car moves 2 m north, resulting in a net displacement of 2 m north, which is not 10 m north.
In option B, the car starts at a position of 0 m and moves 10 m west, 10 m east, and then 10 m south. Again, we need to calculate the net displacement. Here, the eastward and westward movements cancel each other out, resulting in a net displacement of 10 m south, which is not 10 m north.
In option C, the car starts at a position of 2 m north and moves 4 m west and then 4 m south. Calculating the net displacement, we subtract the southward movement from the northward movement. Here, the car moves 4 m south, resulting in a net displacement of 4 m south, which is not 10 m north.
In option D, the car starts at a position of 0 m and moves 3 m west, 3 m north, 4 m north, 3 m east, and then 3 m north. Again, we need to calculate the net displacement. The car moves a total of 6 m north (3 m north + 3 m north), resulting in a net displacement of 6 m north, which is not 10 m north.
Therefore, none of the provided options accurately describe a scenario in which a car experiences a displacement of 10 m north.
