Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A man walks 20 meters north, then 20 meters west. In which direction is he from his starting point? (2019)
  • Step 1: Start at the initial point (let's call it Point A).
  • Step 2: Walk 20 meters north from Point A to reach Point B.
  • Step 3: From Point B, walk 20 meters west to reach Point C.
  • Step 4: Now, visualize the position of Point C relative to Point A.
  • Step 5: Since you walked north first and then west, Point C is located diagonally from Point A.
  • Step 6: The direction from Point A to Point C is towards the North-West.
  • Vector Addition – Understanding how to combine movements in different directions to determine final position relative to the starting point.
  • Cardinal Directions – Knowledge of the four main directions (North, South, East, West) and their combinations (e.g., North-West).
