Question

Anju walks 10m to the east, then 7m to the south,then 10m to the West and finally 7m to the north.What is the distance covered and displacement of Anju?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Anju walks 10m to the east, then 7m to the south,then 10m to the West and finally 7m to the north

Total distance covered by Anju( 10+7+10++7)

=34m

Total displacement = 0

Answer 2

The distance covered and displacement of Anju is 34 m and 0 respectively.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Anju walks 10 m to the east, then 7 m to the south,then 10 m to the West and finally 7 m to the north. We need to find the distance covered and displacement of Anju.

We know that the sum of all path covered by a particle is equal to the  distance covered by it while the displacement of a particle is equal to the shortest path covered it.

In this case, total distance covered by Anju is equal to,

$d=10\ m+7\ m+10\ m+7\ m$

d = 34 m

The total distance covered by Anju is 34 meters

At the end of journey, Anju reaches a point where she has started her journey. So, the displacement of Anju is 0. Hence, this is the required solution.
