Question

answer this please i need this right

Answer 1

Answer:

distance=13.2m

magnitude of displacement is 2.4m

direction is east

Explanation:

Distance=total distance travelled

=5.4+7.8

=13.2m

Displacement = shortest distance between starting and end point.

the shopper walks 5.4 m west then he walks 7.8m east, so we can tell

he will be east to his starting point .

He walks 5.4m west then he covers 5.4m east to come back to his starting point .

Then he travels 2.4m in east more. (since he walks 7.8m east)

so, magnitude of displacement= 2.4 m

the direction is east.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance = total distance

= 5.4+7.8

= 13 .2 metre

Displacement= final - initial distance

= 7.8 - 5.4

= 2.4 metre

Direction→ Eastward

because the eastward distance is greater than westward hence direction is eastward
