Question

Car’s speedometer reads 10,500 km at the start of a trip and 10,700 km at the end. Determine distance and displacement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

200 km

Explanation:

A car speedometer reads 10,500 a the starting of trip

And , It reads 10,700 at the end

Then,

The difference between them determines the distance and displacement.

so, (10,700-10,500) km

= 200 km

Now,

Distance = 200 km

And , Displacement = 200 km

Answer 2

Given - Speedometer reading

Find - Distance and displacement

Solution - The distance and displacement of the car are 200 kilometres.

Since the car does not go back to the starting point, the displacement will be equal to distance.

Finding distance covered by car

Distance = 10700 - 10500

Performing subtraction to find the distance

Distance = 200 kilometres

So, the distance and displacement of the car are 200 kilometres.
