Answer:

180m to the east

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance traveled in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction. Therefore, the start and finish position is very paramount.

  point A runs 150m east,

   70m west

  100m east

                                       150m

                --------------------------------------------------------→

                                                                   70m

                                                         ←---------------------

                                                                   100m

                                                         -----------------------------------→

The displacement of the athlete  = 150 - 80 + 100  = 180m to the east

Resultant displacement of the athlete will be "180 m (Towards east)".

According to the question,

Point A runs:

  • 150 m (east)
  • 70 m (west)
  • 100 m (east)

Now,

The displacement will be:

= [tex]150-80+100[/tex]

= [tex]250-80[/tex]

= [tex]170 \ m \ (east)[/tex]

Thus the answer above is correct.
