Question:-

A particle move 3 m north, 4m east, 6m South calculate it's distance traveled and displacement?

Answers:-

• Distance is 13 m
• Displacement is 5 m

Step by step explanation:-

Total distance travels= DA + AB + B E

⇒ 3 m + 4 m + 6 m

⇒13 m

Total distance travel by particle is 13 m

Displacement =

$⇒ {DE}^{2} = {CE }^{2} + {DE}^{2}$

$⇒ {x}^{2} = {3}^{2} + {4}^{2}$

$⇒ {x}^{2} = 9 + 16$

$⇒ {x}^{2} = 25$

$⇒ x = \sqrt{25}$

$⇒ x = 5 m$

.•. x =DE

So , DE = 5 m

DE is the displacement travel by particle that is 5 m
