A biker rides 700m north, then 300m east, 400m north, 600m towards west, 1200m south,
300m east and finally takes a turn towards north and travels 100rn. What was his distance and
displacement?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3600m is distance and 100m is displacement..

Explanation:

Distance is the total metres covered by the biker

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial point and the final point..

thus, distance =(700+300+400+600+1200+300+100)m

=3600m

Displacement= 100m(highlited by orange colour)..
