What is the correct displacement for the following vectors: 4 km south, 2 km north, 5 km south, and 5 km north? 2 km south 16 km total 11 km west 6 km south

The correct answer option is: 2 km South.

Explanation:

We are to find out the displacement for the given vectors:

- 4 km south,

- 2 km north,

- 5 km south; and

- 5 km north

So starting off with the vector going 4 km south we have a displacement of 4 km south. Then it goes 2 km so we are left with 4 - 2 = 2 km south.

Next, it goes 5 km south so we will have a displacement of 2 + 5 = 7 km south. Then again it goes 5 km north so we are left with a displacement of 7 - 5 = 2 km South.

truck y has a greater velocity than truck x.
