Question

An ant climbs up 5 stairs each of width 20 cm. and height of 20 cm.find the distance and displacement?

Answer 1

Hi...


It climbs 20 widths and
20 height which means 5 stairs.

So (20+20) for each step and 5 such stairs .

so (20+20)*5=200cm.

Distance= 200cm. .


In this instead of width and height,
its hypotenuse is taken into calculation. .

Hypo. of 20 width nd 20 height =20√2 ⇒ for 1 stair, nd for such 5 stairs (20√2)*5 =100√2cm..

Displacement=100√2 cm. ..



Hope this helps u!!
