Question

Determine the distance and displacement



Derrick moves 4ft south, and then turns east and turns 6ft

A.
Distance - 10ft

Displacement - 52ft

B.
Distance - 10ft

Displacement - 8ft

C.
Distance - 10ft

Displacement - 7.21ft

D.
Distance - 10ft

Displacement - 10ft

Answer 1

Answer:

(c)

Explanation:

displacement can be find by Pythagoras theorem

Answer 2

Here is your answer.

Along east distance covered = 6ft.

Along South distance covered = 4 ft.

Distance = Distance covered along East + Distance covered along South.

= (6+4)ft

= 10 ft.

By using Pythagoras theorem we will find displacement .

Displacement =( 6*6 )+( 4*4) ft.

= 36 + 16 = 52ft.

Your answer will be option 'A'
