Question

an object move from a to d along a rectangular path as shown in the given figure find the distance covered by the object , the displacement of the object​

Answer 1

Explanation:

if we take assume a rectangular path of ABCD and let distance between A to B be 2km and B to C 1km as it is rectangular path than A to D distance will be 1km and D to C 2km if the objects follows the path ABC and then reaches D the total distance would be 5km because ; distance = total distance covered,

and if it reached D point just from A then displacement will be 1km as..displacement = distance between final point - initial point.

Answer 2

Answer:

if we take assume a rectangular path of ABCD and let distance between A to B be 2km and B to C 1km as it is rectangular path than A to D distance will be 1km and D to C 2km if the objects follows the path ABC and then reaches D the total distance would be 5km because ; distance = total distance covered,

and if it reached D point just from A then displacement will be 1km as..displacement = distance between final point - initial point.
