Question

Ram takes path 1 (straight line) to go from P to Q and Shyam takes path 2 (semicircle).
(a) Find the distance travelled by Ram and Shyam?
(b) Find the displacement of Ram and Shyam?
(a) Distance travelled by Ram = 100 m
Distance travelled by Shyam = Te(50 m) = 50 m
P
-100 m​

Answer 1

Answer:

100 m, 50π m. D.

100 m, 50π m. The distance traveled by Ram is directly given in the question as 100 m. The distance traveled by shyam is calculated as πr as it is a semi circular path. In this case r = 100/2 = 50 m. So, the distance traveled by him is π(50)=50π m.

Answer 2

Answer:

distance traveled by ram= 100 m

distance traveled by shyam 100/2 =50m

displacement of ram =100m

displacement of shyam= 100m
