Answer:
Distance = 64 metres
Displacement = 28 metres
Direction = northward
Explanation:
Given that a kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward
Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.
Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres
The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement
Let northward be positive and southward be negative
Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres
Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.
