Question

A boy walks 10m in straight path moving away
from a lamp pole in a garden and walks 5m
back on the same path what is the
displacement of the boy from the Lamp pole
and also find distancē travelled by
it ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 m is displacement and distance traveled=15m

Answer 2

Given:

distance = 10m

To Find:

displacement

distance travelled

Solution:

we know,

displacement = final distance - initial distance

Δx= x2 - x1

Δx = 5 - 0

Δx = 5m

distance = total travelled distance

distance = 10 + 5 = 15m

So, dispalcement = 5m and distance = 15m.
