A shopper walks Eastward 3.2 meters and then westward 7.2 meters what is the distance and magnitude and direction ?

Explanation:

Given that,

A shopper walks Eastward 3.2 meters and then westward 7.2 meters.

Let East is positive direction and west is negative direction.

Initially, he walks +3.2 m and finally, he walks (-7.2 m)

Distance = 3.2 m + 7.2 m = 10.4 m

Displacement = final position - initial position

= -7.2-3.2

=-10.4 m

The negative sign shows west direction. It means that direction of shopper is due west.

the answer is 3.1 his answer is wrong mines is right

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.
