Question

a man travels 4m towards east and 3m towards north what is the distance and displacement​

Answer 1

Explanation:

distance 7 mdisplacement :root 25. 5m

Answer 2

THE DISTANCE IS TOTAL TRAVELLED AND DISPLACEMENT IS THE SHORTEST DISTANCE FROM STARTING POINT TO ENDING POINT...

HENCE,

===> Distance travelled

=4m+3m= 7m

===>Displacement

=√(4)^2+(3)^2

Displacement=√16+9=√25= 5m

*in the displacement part, √(4)^2+(3)^2 was used because of Pythagoras theorem as it will form 90° when the person will move to north and hence the length of displacement will be the hypotenuse...
