Question

a car moves from O to D along the path to OABCD find the distance travelled and displacement

Answer 1

distance will be OABCD and

displacement will be OD

Answer 2

Distance= |OAvector| + |AB vector|+|BC vector|+|CDvector|

= 8+4+4+1=17km

Displacement = OAvector + AB vector+BC vector+ CDvector

=8i cap+(-4j cap)+(-4i cap) +j cap

= 4i cap - 3j cap

=|displacement |= underroot (4)^2 + (3)^2=5

So , displacement =5km

Hope this will help you!!
