Question

A car moves 80 km to the South. What is its displacement

Answer 1

displacement=80 km South

Answer 2

Answer:

The displacement is 80Km.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial point = 0Km

Final point = 80Km

The displacement is a vector quantity that refers to how far the object goes from the initial point.

The displacement is dependent on the direction.

Here,

The object moves in a straight line.

Then,

By the equation,

Displacement = final point - initial point

                       = 80 - 0

                       = 80Km

So, the displacement is 80Km.
