Question

A car travels in 10 kilometre to North and then 30 kilometre to West calculate the distance and displacement of the car during the journey

Answer 1

Answer: distance=40 km

Displacement=10x10✓10

Explanation: distance is actual path travelled so 30+10=40

Displacement is the minimum distance between starting and final point

So a triangle is formed due to direction

Using Pythagoras theorem

30²+10²=1000

10✓10

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

The total distance traveled by the car is 40 kilometer.

The total displacement traveled by the car is by Pythagoras triplet,

=√1000 kilometer is your answer.

=10√10 kilometer
