Vedclass · Answer

(A) Let the starting point be $A$. $1$. Johnson drives $15 \, km$ North to point $B$. $2$. He turns West and drives $10 \, km$ to point $C$. $3$. He turns South and drives $5 \, km$ to point $D$. $4$. He turns East and drives $8 \, km$ to point $E$. $5$. Finally,he turns right (which is South) and drives $10 \, km$ to point $F$. Now,calculate the net displacement: - North-South direction: $15 \, km$ (North) $- 5 \, km$ (South) $- 10 \, km$ (South) $= 15 - 15 = 0 \, km$. - East-West direction: $10 \, km$ (West) $- 8 \, km$ (East) $= 2 \, km$ (West). Since the net North-South displacement is $0$,he is on the same horizontal line as the starting point $A$. The net displacement is $2 \, km$ towards the West.
