Question

A particle moves throuh a distance 8m towards east and then 6m towards north.Find the distance and displacement of particle​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance is 14 m and displacement is 10 m

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

distance covered by the particle= 8m +6m = 14 m

displacement covered by the particle = 8m-6m = 2m. The reason behind this is distance is total length of path covered by an object.

Displacement is the shortest length between two points.
