Показать описание
This video is a worked example on distance and displacement. This is a popular question for students to be asked and this one is specific to a hiker walking.

The question is as follows:
A hiker walks 2.0km east, 3.5km north, 1.0km east and then 1.5km south. Calculate both the distance travelled and the final displacement. 

Thanks for watching,

Lewis

I dont get how youtube teachers are better at teaching within 5-15 minutes than schools are with weeks of practice

why didn't we add the distances that are in the positive directions (east and north) and subtract the distances that are in the negative direction (south) for calculating the displacement ??

Why didn't you use the formula
For finding distance🤔
