Question

Aeroplane flies 300m north and 800m south and then flies 1200m upwards then net displacement is

Answer 1

Hey Dear,

◆ Answer -

Net displacement = 1300 m

● Explanation -

Let's consider surrounding with +ve x-axis in north, +ve y-axis in east and +ve z-axis upwards.

Now, we can represent given displacements as -

s1 = 300i m

s2 = -800i m

s3 = 1200k m

Net displacement is calculated as -

s = s1 + s2 + s3

s = 300i - 800i + 1200k

s = -500i + 1200k m

Magnitude of displacement is calculated as -

|s| = √(-500² + 1200²)

|s| = √1690000

|s| = 1300 m

Therefore, net displacement of the aeroplane will be 1300 m.

Thanks dear...
