Question

Activity
8.3
Take a metre scale and a long rope.
Walk from one corner of a basket-ball
court to its oppposite corner along its
sides.
Measure the distance covered by you
and magnitude of the displacement.
What difference would you notice
between the two in this case?​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope my answer is correct

Explanation:

Walk from one corner of basketball court to another corner

let the length of the court = a meter;

Let breadth of the court = b meter;

So the distance covered by the person to reach from one corner to another corner of the basketball court is = a+b meter

Displacement = underoot a^2+b^2

This is the total displacement by the person to reach from one corner to the other corner of a basketball court.

Displacement is less than or equal to the distance. Displacement depends on the route.
