Question

Pirnakanti walks 500 m to east and reaches latas house. From there she walks towards north for 1000 m to reach his gym. His gym is in which direction of his home and what is the total distance travelled by pirnakanti

Answer 1

total distance travelled=1000m +500m=1500m

the direction will be north-east

Answer 2

1. her gym is towards north east from her house. The distance travelled by her is 1000m +500m=1500m. But the total displacement can be taken out by Pythagoras theorum . Since we have a right angled triangle and we have to calculate hypotenuse i.e, the displacement ,the answer will be---

(displacement)^2=1000^2+500^2

(displacement )^2=1000000+250000

(displacement)^2=1250000

displacement=√1250000

displacement=1118.03m
