Question

An object moves 3 m north ,then 4 m east and finally 6 m south . Calculate its distance and displacement

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance covered by the object-

3m + 4m + 6m = 13m

(total path travelled by object is known as distance)

Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final point)

So, displacement of object is,

By PGT,

(a)²=(3)²+(4)²

a²= 9 + 16

a² = 25

a = 5m
