Horizontal displacement=0 m.
Vertical displacement=+10m.
UP at tree. UP. He didn’t climb ALONG the tree. He just went UP.
So if he ONLY went UP. How far did he do horizontally?
(horizontally means left and right, like in the same direction as the horizon, not like the same direction as up)
How far did he go vertically? (vertical means up and down)
Seriously, this isn’t a trick question. Go with your gut on this one.
0 metres………to the horizontal
10 metres…………to the vertical
………….I wonder can I get the rest of my answer in, before some ****** gives me a thumbs down
