Vanessa runs on the soccer field 20 meters North, then makes a cut to the right going East for 3 meters. What is Vanessa’s displacement from her original spot?

20.2 m

Explanation:

Given that Vanessa runs on the soccer field 20 meters North, then makes a cut to the right going East for 3 meters. What is Vanessa’s displacement from her original spot?

The Vanessa displacement can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

Displacement = sqrt( 20^2 + 3^2 )

Displacement = sqrt( 400 + 9 )

Displacement = sqrt( 409)

Displacement = 20.2 m
