Question

An ant in search of food, starts from one corner of a cubic room of side 5m, travels along three edges to reach the opposite corner. Its displacement

Answer 1

Answer:5m

Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance travelled by a body

It is independent of path taken and depends only on initial and final position only

So going to opposite corner along the edge connecting the corners is of length 5m which is the shortest path

Answer 2

Answer:

5root3

Explanation:

diagonal of cube is root 3 * edge of cube

displacement is shortest distance .

so here side 5m

so I think 5 root 3 is the answer
