The Road I Live On Goes East And West. One Day, My Family And…

The road I live on goes east and west. One day, my family and I decide to go west to the beach. I travel 2 miles west when my wife realizes we passed a flock of wild chicken. I turn around and drive back 1/2 miles before we find the chicken. What is my displacement at the flock of chicken (make west negative)? physics ​

Answer:

Your displacement is 1 ¹/₂ miles west

Explanation:

In this problem, we will just get the sum of the distances and indicate its direction to solve the displacement. Since displacement is a vector, the solution should have magnitude (the distance) and direction.

Solving the problem

Let us get the sum of all the horizontal distances.

∑x = – 2 miles + ¹/₂ miles

Take that the negative sign in – 2 miles indicates west which is in the left direction or negative side

∑x = – 1 ¹/₂ miles or

∑x = 1 ¹/₂ miles west

Therefore, the displacement is 1 ¹/₂ miles west
