Question

An object moves from
from A to D along
rectangular path as show in the given figure
A 10km a B
Find
-
6KM
distance covered by the object,
h. The displacement of the olject.
T
D
с​

Answer 1

Distance = Length of path travelled

=AB+BC

=15+9

=24km

b. Displacement = Shortest path from initial to final position

AC = √(AB)² + (BC)² {Pythagoras Theorem}

= √225+81

= 17.5km
