Question

2) A car travels 5 km towards north than turns right and travels 3km further, the car again turns right and travel 1 km and comes to rest. What is the distance travelled and displacement of the car?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance travelled is  = 9 km

and displacement is = 5 km

Explanation:

total travelled distance is equal to sum of distance travelled

but when you are asked about change in position or displacement use directional sense see in fig

Answer 2

EXPLANATION:-

A)Distance:-

Distance will be simply :-

5+3+1

9 km

B)Displacement

(kindly see attachment for the path of the car)

So Line DC is displacement

And by phythagorus theorem:-

DC²=DE²+EC²

DC=?

DE=4 km

EC=3 KM

So,

DC²=3²+4²

DC²=9+16

DC²=25

DC=√25

DC=5

So the displacement is 5 km and displacement is 9 km
