Question

a snail travels 0.3 m towards east and then 0.4 m towards north to reach its home . the magnitude of its displacement is
​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 m

Explanation:

by pythagoras theorem,

S( displacement) =root of { (0.3)^2 +(0.4)^2}

or, S = root of { 0.09 + 0.16}

or, S= root of 0.25

or, S= 0.5 m
