Answer 2

Answer:

EXAMPLE TYPE NUMERICAL QUESTION

Aruna runs along the path ABCDEF. what is the total path length covered by her during her Motion from A to G? what is her displacement?

SOLUTION OF THIS IS

the total path length covered by a Aruna= AB+ BC +CD+ DE +EF+ FG

=(1+1+1+1+1+1)=6 Km

displacement of Aruna = AG =3 km

here, displacement is less than the distance covered by her .
