Question

An aeroplane flies 400m north and 300m south and then flies 1200m upward then net dispacement is

Answer 1

Answer:

If it starts from the equator it's net displacement (not counting altitude changes) is 400 - 300 = 100m. If it starts 400m from the north pole, then net displacement (not counting altitude changes) could be as much as 400 + 300 = 700m.

Answer 2

Answer:

op is the displacement

displacement in horizontal plane is

h=

(400)

2

+(300)

2

=500m

Now net displacement is

s=

(500)

2

+(1200)

2

=1300m
