Distance versus displacement worksheet
directions: calculate the distance and displacement of each situation.
1) a person walks 6 blocks south, 4 blocks west, and 6 blocks north.

when we find the distance we will add all the blocks so

distance = 6+6+4

distance = 14blocks

when we find the displacement we will add and minus too

As you can read he goes to the south 6 and to north 6 so he leave that place and back to the place again so the displacement is 0. and again he goes to the west 4 blocks so the displacement = 4blocks to the west

when we find the distance we will add all the blocks so

distance = 6+6+4

distance = 14blocks

As you can read he goes to the south 6 and to north 6 so he leave that place and back to the place again so the displacement is 0. and again he goes to the west 4 blocks so the displacement = 4blocks to the west
