Question

A body moves along from a point A to B along a straight line . The distance between A to B is 30 . He turns back and move to point C at the mid of the connecting point A and B . Calculate the distance and displacement

Answer 1

the distance = total path covered
= distance from A to B +
distance from B to C
= 30 +15
=45
the displacement= shortest distance covered by the object=shortest path from A to C = 15
