Question

Distance between Ramu’s house and school is 5km.What is the distance travelled and displacement of Ramu,when he travels from his house to school and comes back home along the same route ??

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = total distance travelled = 5 + 5 = 10 km

Displacement = the straight line joining the starting and the end point = 0 km

Answer 2

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{Given:-}}}}$

Distance between Ramu's house and school is 5 km.

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{</strong><strong>T</strong><strong>o</strong><strong> </strong><strong>find</strong><strong>:-}}}}$

The distance travelled and displacement = ?

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{</strong><strong>S</strong><strong>o</strong><strong>l</strong><strong>u</strong><strong>t</strong><strong>i</strong><strong>o</strong><strong>n</strong><strong>:-}}}}$

→Distance travelled by Ramu = Length of actual path travelled during home to school + school to home.

Then, Distance travelled by Ramu = 5 Km + 5 km

= 10 km.

We know that displacement is the shortest distance between final and initial position .

But Ramu come back to his initial position.

In this case his Displacement will be 0.
