Question

In the diagram shown, a particle is moving from the point A to the point B.

Length of each arrow is 1 m and the particle is moving at a constant speed

of 1 m/s. What is the displace of the particle?

1) 2 m

2) 3 m

3) 4 m

4) zero​

Answer 1

Answer:

2 m/s

Total displacement of the particle in going from A to B S=AB=2×1=2 m

Time taken t=1 s

⟹ Average velocity v

=2 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

The displacement of the particle is 2m.

Explanation:

Displacement of a particle is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position of the particle.

Here, The initial position of the particle is A and the final position of the particle is at B (2m away from the origin ).

Displacement = Final position - initial position = 2m - 0m = 2m.

The displacement of the particle is 2m.

[Net displacement in the y direction is 0. So, it does not add up in displacement]
