1. A car traveled 500 m from point A to point B and 700 m from point B to point C. What is
the total distance covered by the car? If the car went back to point A after having gone to
point C what is the car’s displacement?

2. Kate walks 500 m E and then turns N and walks 300m. What is Katie’s displacement?
3. A car moves 10km north, then turns 20km west. What is the total displacement of the
car?

4. A hiker walks 50m east then 200m south and finally 400m west. What is the resultant
displacement of the hiker from the starting point?

5. A cabinet is pulled across a cemented floor with a rope that makes an angle of 35 0 with
the floor. What is the component of the force parallel to the floor if a 90-N force is
exerted?

6. The wind blows toward 400 with a velocity of 50km/hr. What is the vertical component
of the wind’s velocity?

CHALLENGE! An ant crawls on a table top. It moves 2cm E, turns 3cm 40 0 N of E and
finally moves 2.5 cm N. What is the ant’s total displacement?
