Question

if a person take 10 round of square path side 50m. what distance of a person and displacement?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance is 200m

The displacement is 2000m

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 200m because it is a square path and the distance of a side is 50m and that of the square should be 4 times that of the square. That is;

Distance of path = 50m*4 = 200m

The displacement will be 2000 metre. This is because he goes round the path 10 times and the displacement doesn't cancel out as he leaves a point and returns to the same same point 10 times.

If he had taken turns clockwise and anti-clockwise, it would have cancelled out making the displacement to be 0m.

For instance moving from point A to point B and from point B back to point A, will mean that the displacement is 0m.
