Question

1. A car moves 100 m due east and then 25 m due west.
(a) What is the distance covered by the car? (b) What
is its displacement?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A car travels 100m due east and 25m due west.a) what is the distance covered by the car :

Distance is the total path covered by the object.hence distance travelled=100+25=125m

b)what is its displacement?

Displacement is the shortest path between source and destination.Car moves 100m forward(east) and then 25m backward(west)so displacement =100-25=75m

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance moved by car due east = 100 m

Distance moved by car due west = 25 m

Total distance covers by car = 100m + 25 m

= 125 m

Displacement = intial position - final position

100- 25

= 75 m square
