Question

a body travels a distance of 15 m from a to b and then moves a distance of 20 m at right angles to AB calculate the total distance travelled and displacement​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance travelled is 15+20=35m

displacement would be along the hypotenuse of the imaginary right angled triangle formed by the object

a^2+b^2=c2

15^2+20^2= c^2

c=25m

displacement is 25m
