Using Scale Diagrams A boy ran 200m due north followed by 200m to the east. What distance does he travel? What was his resultant displacement? If it took 3mins 20 s to run this what was his speed and velocity? Can you find the displacement without using a scale diagram?. Worked example Tutorial questions page 5 and 6 Qu 4 to 9
