Question

A cyclist travels a distance of 4 km from A to B and then moves a distance of 3 km at right angle

to AB. Find his resultant displacement and total distance travelled.
Tell with explanation...​

Answer 1

Answer:

The resultant displacement of the cyclist is R = 5. The given data states that the cyclist travel 4 km and then travels 3 km. These form a vector when represented graphically and are perpendicular to each other. Therefore the resultant displacement is calculated using vector addition rule.
