Problem 3

Step1: Count path segments (distance)

Count each grid segment in the path. The path goes up, left, down, right, etc. Let's trace: From start, up 2, left 1, down 1, left 1, up 2, right 4? Wait, better to count each step. Let's assume each grid square has side length 1 unit. The path: start to first turn: let's see the figure. Wait, maybe the path is: start (bottom) to left, down, left, up, right, up? Wait, maybe a better way: count all the horizontal and vertical segments. Let's say the distance is the number of unit segments. Let's count: from start, moving left? No, start is at bottom, stop at top. Let's count the path: the number of sides of squares traversed. Let's say the path has 10 unit segments? Wait, maybe I miscount. Wait, let's look at the grid. The start is at (let's say) column 5, row 4 (bottom row), stop at column 5, row 1 (top row)? No, the path has some detours. Wait, maybe the distance is 10 (counting each segment: up 2, left 1, down 1, left 1, up 2, right 4? No, maybe better: let's count the total length. Alternatively, displacement is straight line: vertical distance (start to stop vertically: 3 units up? Wait, start is at bottom, stop at top, same column? So displacement is 3 units up, distance is the length of the path. Let's count the path: from start, move left 1, down 1, left 1, up 2, right 4, up 2? No, maybe the path is: start (bottom) → left 1 → down 1 → left 1 → up 2 → right 4 → up 2? No, that's too long. Wait, maybe the correct count: distance is 10 (each segment is 1, count all the lines). Displacement: vertical distance (since start and stop are same column) is 3 units up.

Step2: Determine displacement and direction

Displacement is the straight-line distance. Since start and stop are in the same vertical column (x-coordinate same), displacement is the vertical difference. If start is at row 4 (bottom) and stop at row 1 (top), that's 3 units up. Direction is up (north, or vertical up).

Step1: Count path segments (distance)

Start is at right, stop at left. The path: start → left 3, up 2, left 1, down 1, up 2? Wait, count each segment. Let's see the grid: start is at column 8, row 3; stop at column 5, row 3? Wait, no, the path has vertical and horizontal. Let's count: from start, move left 3, up 2, left 1, down 1, up 2? No, better to count all segments. Let's say the path length (distance) is 8 units (count each line: left 3, up 2, left 1, down 1, up 2? Wait, maybe 8: left 3, up 2, left 1, down 1, up 2? No, maybe 8. Displacement: horizontal distance (same row) from start to stop: start at column 8, stop at column 5: 3 units left. Direction: left (west).

Step2: Determine displacement and direction

Displacement is horizontal (same y-coordinate), so distance between start and stop is 3 units left. Direction: left (or West).

Step1: Count path segments (distance)

Start and stop: start at bottom right, stop at top right. The path: start → left 8, up 1, right 4, down 1, right 4? Wait, count each segment. Let's see: the path has horizontal and vertical. Let's count all segments: left 8, up 1, right 4, down 1, right 4? No, better to count: the path goes left, up, right, down, right. Let's count the total length: 8 (left) + 1 (up) + 4 (right) + 1 (down) + 4 (right) = 18? Wait, no, maybe the grid: start at (let's say) column 10, row 4; stop at column 10, row 1. Wait, no, the path has a detour. Wait, maybe the distance is 14 (count each segment: left 4, down 1, left 4, up 1, right 8? No, this is confusing. Alternatively, displacement is vertical: start at bottom, stop at top, same column: 3 units up? Wait, no, start and stop are same column? Let's check: start is at bottom right, stop at top right. So vertical distance: 3 units up. Distance: count the path. Let's say the path is: left 4, down 1, left 4, up 1, right 8. Wait, 4+1+4+1+8=18? No, maybe 14. Wait, maybe the correct count: distance is 14, displacement is 3 units up, direction up.

Step2: Determine displacement and direction

Displacement: vertical (same column), so 3 units up. Direction: up (North).

Answer:

Distance = 10 units (assuming each grid segment is 1 unit, count all path segments), Displacement = 3 units, Direction = Up (or North)
