Juan starts climbing a spiral staircase that is 10 meters high and 4 meters wide from the base. What is the magnitude of his resultant displacement?

Respuesta :

AL2006
The magnitude of a displacement is the straight-line distance
from the beginning point to the end point, regardless of the path
that was taken to get there.

Juan's displacement is the straight-line distance from the bottom
of the staircase to the top.

That's 10 meters.

Answer:

10.77

Explanation:

The magnitude of resultant displacement is r =  √(x²+y²), where 10 is x and 4 is y.

So,

r= √(10²+4²)

√(100+16)

√(116)

r = 10.77
