Question

a man travels a distance of 1.5m towards east then 2m towards south and finally turns 4.5m towards east. Find the distance and displacement

Answer 1

 distance traveled by the man = 1.5 + 2 + 4.5 = 8 m
displacement of the man =  distance between the initial point and final point = $\sqrt{2^{2}+3^{2} }$
= $\sqrt{13}$ m
