Question

2. Ramesh travels 6m from A to B and then 8m at right angles to AB. What is the distance travelled by him and what is its displacement?

Answer 1

Hi..

Let the final point be C
Thetefore,Total Distance=AB+BC
Distance=6m +8m
Distance=14m
Displacement=Hypotenous of Triangle ABC
Displacement =(AC)^2=(AB)^2+(BC)^2
=AC^2=6^2+8^2
=AC^2=36+64
=AC^2=100
Therefore,AC=ROOT100
AC=10m...



Hope this helps u!!

Answer 2

Distance=6+8=14m
Displacement=6square that is 36 plus 8 square that is 64=square root of that is (10)
