Question

a Body travel a distance of 15 m from A to B and then moves a distance of 20 m at right angels to AB. calculate the total distance travelled and the displacement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance is total length of path travelled, i.e. AB+AC= 15+20= 35 mtrs. Answer: The displacement is total distance between final point and initial point. So in given problem the initial position is A and final position is let's say C, then the distance displacement will be AC.
