Question

An object moves from point A to point C along the rectangle shown in the figure below.

a)Find the distance covered by the moving object.

b) Find the magnitude of the displacement of the object.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) A to c distance covered is 8km

a to b is 5 and b to c is 3

5 +3=8km

b)5.83km

Answer 2

Explanation:

given that , 1 unit = 1km

so, let me take

AD = 3km

DC = 5km

then, to find the distance of AC better draw a line joining it . Then it forms a right angled triangle ∆ADC.

find the hypothesis of find AC

AC² = AD²+DC²

AC² = 9 + 25

AC² =√34

as there is only one direction movement it has same displacement ...
