A student walks 5 meters due east and then walks 10 meters due west.The magnitude of the person's total displacement is meters. square The direction of the displaceme nt is square (E, W, N, S) .

## Step1: Determine the total displacement### Displacement is a vector quantity that considers both magnitude and direction. The student first walks 5 meters east and then 10 meters west. To find the total displacement, we subtract the eastward distance from the westward distance: . Therefore, the magnitude of the total displacement is 5 meters.## Step2: Determine the direction of the displacement### Since the student ends up 5 meters west of the starting point, the direction of the displacement is west (W).#
