Question

If a car moves 100 m due east and then 25 m due west , then what will be the magnitude of displacement of the car

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Distance travel=100+25=125m

(2) Displacement =100−25=75m

Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard to direction. We can define distance as how much ground an object has covered despite its starting or ending point.
