Question

A student walks 3 m east and then 4 m north. What does the direct displacement from the starting point to the final position represent?

पर्याय

• The additive inverse vector

• The zero vector

• The scalar distance without direction

• The resultant vector

Answer 1

Walking 3 m east and then 4 m north constitutes two successive vector displacements. The direct displacement from the start to the endpoint represents the combined effect of these two vectors, which is the resultant vector.
