A squirrel runs 7 m due east, then 10 m due south, and finally 7 m due west. What is the displacement of the squirrel from its initial position? Elimination Tool Select one answer A 10 m due north B 10 m due south C 0m D 7 mdue east E 7 m due west F 24 m

## Step 1: Identify the directions and distances of the squirrel's movements.- Runs 7 m due east.- Runs 10 m due south.- Runs 7 m due west.## Step 2: Calculate the net displacement in the east-west direction.- East movement: - West movement: - Net east-west displacement: ## Step 3: Calculate the net displacement in the north-south direction.- South movement: - No north movement.- Net north-south displacement: ## Step 4: Combine the net displacements to find the overall displacement.- Since the net east-west displacement is , the overall displacement is solely in the south direction.- The magnitude of the displacement is .## Step 5: Determine the direction of the overall displacement.- The direction is due south since the net displacement in the north-south direction is .
