Question

He travels a distance of 2 m towards east and then 3 m towards north and 5 m towards east what is the resulted displacement

Answer 1

2 m towards east

3 m towards north

5 m towards east again

we will make a right angled triangle with height=3 m

and base=7 m

displacement=lenght of hypotenuse

=(3^2 + 7^2)^1/2

=(9+49)^1/2

=√58 m
