Question

. 6. A man walks from one corner of the rectangular track which is 30 m long and 50 m broad
and reaches the opposite corner. Find the distance travelled and the magnitude of the
displacement.
[Ans. 80 m, 58.3 m)
E. Long Answer Type Questions:​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of rectangular track = 30 M

Breadth of the rectangular track = 50 M

Thus,

If an individual starts from one end and reaches the opposite end, The distance travelled will be equal to semi-perimeter.

Therefore :-

Distance covered = Length +Breadth

\begin{gathered}d = l + b \\ \\ \\d = 50 + 30 \\ \\ \\d = 80 \: m\end{gathered}

d=l+b

d=50+30

d=80m
