Question

?

Answer 1

try to draw a map of 2 places (let's say, school, library, a cafe, etc.) you visit during the day

plot your home as (0,0) and try to estimate where the other locations would be (it doesn't have to be super accurate)

Answer 2

so just like this

Answer 3

sorry not very neat

Answer 4

good, and now try to think about the first location you would visit after leaving home, and plot its location on the graph

Answer 5

good, now we just need to come up with one more location after that

Answer 6

awesome, now we divide the journey into 3 different times like the question asks

Answer 7

Okay so do i write this out separately or do it all on the graph

Answer 8

I would recommend doing calculations separately

Answer 9

OKay

Answer 10

for time 1, displacement and distance are?

Answer 11

Um 2?

Answer 12

good, distance is 2 miles, displacement is 2 miles north (distance is not a vector but displacement is, so displacement has a direction)

Answer 13

home is 0 and time 2 is 2?

Answer 14

for time 2, we travel 2 miles west so the total distance is 2 + 2 = 4 miles (we add the 2 from before)

and the displacement is the distance from the home to the park (to save some time it is 2sqrt(2) miles

Answer 15

okay so for time 3 is it 0?

Answer 16

good, for time 3 the displacement is 0 but the distance is 2 + 2 + 2sqrt(2) (since we are adding all three side lengths)

Answer 17

Got it thank you
