Answer
Distance = Length of path travelled
=AB+BC
=15+9
=24km
Displacement = Shortest path from initial to final position
=AC

On a road going out of a city, lights of the last traffic signal glow green for 1.0min and red for 2.0min. After the traffic signal, the road is straight and vehicles run at their constant speeds that lie in the range 60km/h to 80km/h. This mode of operation of traffic lights causes the vehicles to come out of the city in groups. Some distance away from the traffic signal, these groups merge and become indistinguishable. Assuming that the vehicles acquire their constant speeds after the traffic signal in negligible time, which of the following
Answer:
Distance = length of path travelled
AB + BC = 15+9
=24km
displacement = shortest path from intial point
to final point.
= AC
√(AB) ^2 + (BC)^2
( BY USING PYTHAGORAS THEOREM)
√ 225 + 81
= 17.5km.
Explanation:
FIRST YOU FIND THE DISTANCE AND AFTER FIND THE DISTANCE YOU ALSO FIND THE DISPLACEMENT.
THANK YOU.
