Question

a man move 4m towards east and 3m toward north calculate the distance and displacement covered by man

Answer 1

here is your answer hope it helps you..

Answer 2

The distance and the displacement of the man is 7 m and 5 m respectively.

Given,

A man moves 4m towards the east and 3m toward the north.

To Find,

The distance and displacement covered by the man.

Solution,

The distance covered by the man will be (3+4) = 7m

Now, the path of the man forms an equilateral triangle where the hypotenuse is the displacement of the man and the base and perpendicular are 3m and 4m respectively.

Now, using the Pythagoras theorem

Displacement = √(3²+4²)

Displacement = √9+16

Displacement = √25 = 5 m

Hence, the distance and the displacement of the man is 7 m and 5 m respectively.
