Question

A particle moves 12 m east direction and 5 m north direction . what is distance and and displacement particle?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance covered will be 17 m and the displacement covered will be 13 m along north-east

Explanation:

To find the distance , we simply add the two distances

and in order to find the displacement ,

Answer 2

Distance covered =12m +5m =17m

Let AB and BC be the path formed by the movement of the particle.

therefore, AB=12m

BC=5m

Construction:

We join A and C to form a right angled triangle (since, north direction is perpendicular to east direction)

Applying Pythagoras theorem we get,

AB²+BC²=AC²

or, (12)² + (5)²=AC²

or, 144+25=AC²

or, 169=AC²

therefore, AC=√169=13m

Thus displacement=13m
