Answer:
26 m southwards.
Explanation:
From a North, East, South, West coordinate plane, moving northwards implies positive distance. While moving southwards implies negative distance.
Thus;
It moves 16 meters northward; d = 16 m
It now moves 22 meters southward; d = -22 m
It moves 12 meters northward; d = 12 m
It moves 32 meters southward; d = -32 m
Thus, total magnitude = 16 - 22 + 12 - 32 = -26 m
Thus, the object travels 26 m southwards.
