The displacement of a cyclist who travels 1 mile north 1 mile east then finally 1 mile south will be 1 mile in the east direction.
A displacement is a vector in engineering and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest route between a point P's initial and final positions.
The displacement is the vector quantity that depends on the magnitude as well as direction. And follows the law of vector addition.
The cyclist who travels 1 mile north 1 mile east then finally 1 mile south. Then the diagram is drawn below.
From the graph, the displacement is given as,
Displacement = 1 - 0
Displacement = 1 mile
The displacement of a cyclist who travels 1 mile north 1 mile east then finally 1 mile south will be 1 mile in the east direction.
