How do you calculate the magnitude of displacement?
[ad_1]
For calculation of displacement only the end points matter. He ends up 2.5 m above and 1.1 m to the side of his original postion. The displacement magnitude is |s| = [2.5 + 1.1] = 2.73 m. This is not the same as the total distance traveled which is the sum of displacement magnitudes of each leg.
