Question

11. Ravi told his friend that his house is 1 km towards south from the main Post Office. Express displacement and the
distance moved by the friend from the Post Office when he arrives at Ravi's house. Mention the reference point by you

​

Answer 1

Answer:

The shortest distance between ravi's house and post office is 1km. it is called displacement.

Now, If ravi's friend takes a detour or reaches ravi's house after going through a lot of curves and shortcuts, then the total path that he travels is called distance. So we can say that the shortest distance between the house and post office is displacement.

Here the point of reference is the Post Office. It is taken as the origin or center.
