Question

Q3 A body travels a distance of 15 m from A to B and then moves a
distance of 20 m at right angle to AB. Calculate the total distance
travelled and displacement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance travelled :15+20= 35m

Displacement:

Using the pythagorous theorem; displacement travelled will be

P^2=B^2=H^2

20^2+15^2= H^2

400+225=H^2

625=H^2

$\sqrt{} 625$ = 25

The displacement travelled is 25m
