Question

An object moves 60 m due east and then 80 m due north. Find the distance travelled and the magnitude of displacemen

Answer 1

Answer:

distance =140m

displacement=100m

Explanation:

distance = 60 + 80

                 =140m

displacement= $\sqrt{80^{2} +60^{2} }$

                       =$\sqrt{6400+3600}$

                       =$\sqrt{10000}$

                       =100m
