Answer:
The distance and displacement of the car is 150 m and 111.8 m respectively.
Explanation:
A car travels along the straight road 100 m east, then 50 m west. The total distance covered by the car is equal to the total path covered by it. In this case, distance of the car is equal to 100 m + 50 m = 150 meters.
The shortest path covered by the car is called its displacement. It is given by :
displacement = (rootover 100^2 + 50^2)m
diplacement = 111.8m
Hence, the distance and displacement of the car is 150 m and 111.8 m respectively.
