Expert Solution
Step 1

To find the magnitude and direction of the displacement.

The displacement of a body is defined as the difference between the initial and final position of a body. It is a vector quantity and hence has a magnitude and a direction.

The given values in the problem are:
Question 2: The mouse moves in the -x direction for 60 cm and then in the +y direction for 40 cm.
Question 4: The mouse in the +x direction for 100 cm.
