Displacement is the shortest path between the initial and final point. So his displacement will be 400-300(as 300m south is equivalent to -300m north). Therefore displacement=100m north.

Seems obvious that the net displacement is 100 meters north.

nicely. North and South are polar opposites. So if pass upnorth 400meters (+4 hundred) then downsouth 3 hundred (-3 hundred) then we get (4 hundred - 3 hundred) = one hundred meters displacement. yet on the grounds that we went farther North than we did South, we are nevertheless interior the North. So our displacement is 100m north.

ooh was he like near the north pole
say 400m south of the north pole then runs in a straight line suddenly due to the geographical phenominon his straight line north becomes a straight line south...
so he is 700m from where he started and fairdinkum on the other side of the world!!!

the answer is 100m due north from his starting point. just solve by drawing out.

hahaha, displacement is 100m. he is 100m straight away from the starting point.

and you're in college, talk about displacement.
