Question

A boy walks along the boundary of a square field of sides 400m- starting from a corner. Calculate the distance and displacement when -a) He returns to the starting point. b) he is at the diagonally opposite corner from the point he started. please answer full question

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) Distance = 4×400=1600m

Displacement= 0m, because he returned to the

initial point

b) Distance=400 ×2=800m

Displacement = whole root of 400²+400²

whole root 160000+160000

√320000m
