Question

Ravi goes 28 km forward East from a point p to the point q from q he moves 37 kilometres towards west along the same road if the distance towards the East is presented by the positive integer then how many used to represent the distance travel towards west by which integer you will represent his final position from p​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 km west.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ravi moves along the same road East and West on the road.

Note that this is Displacement.

=> Distance towards the West is negative.

=> Distance towards East is positive displacement.

If Ravi moving back to 28 km then the resultant displacement is 0.

If Ravi moves further to 37 km West then his displacement will be 37 - 28 = 9 km.

Distance towards West is represented as a positive integer as - 37 km West.

Thus,

Distance travelled West = 37 km West

Resultant displacement = 9 km West
