Question

1.3.
A man travels a distance of 3 m towards East, then 8 m towards South and finally 3
m towards East. Draw a diagram depicting the motion of the man. Calculate the
total distance travelled. What is his resultant displacement?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer

Correct option is

A

10 m

Let the east direction to be

i

^

and north direction be

j

^

.

Thus displacement of the man

S

=8

i

^

+6

j

^

So, magnitude of displacement ∣

S

∣=

6

2

+8

2

=

100

=10 m
