Question

a cab travelled 2/3 km due North and 3/5 km due south find the total displacement of cab​

Answer 1

Answer:

1/15km towards south

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement = distance from the starting point to the ending point

                       = 2/3 - 3/5

                       = (10 - 9) / 15

                       = 1/ 15 km

And since displacement is a vector quantity, we must mention the direction as well. Since the distance travelled towards south is greater than the distance travelled towards north, the displacement is towards south.

Ignore the part after the calculation, if you don't have to consider the direction in your calculations.
