Question

a car moves 4 km due east and then 3km due north. calculate the distance traveled and displacement of the car

Answer 1

5 km

using paythagores theorem

4^2+3^2=d^2

d=5

displacement is the shortest distance cover by body from initial to final path

Answer 2

the car travelled to east= 4km

the car travelled to north= 3km

total distance travelled = 4km + 3km

= 7km
