Question

Ravi goes 28 km towards east from a point P to the point Q , he moves 37 km towards west along the same road . If the distance towards est is represented by a positive integer then , how will you represented by a positive integer the distance travelled towards west ? By which integer will you represented his final position from p

Answer 1

Final position of ravi is 9 km from point P. Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

37 km West — Distance traveled West

Resultant displacement = 9km West

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ravi moves along the same road East and West on the road  we need to take note that this is displacement.

Distance towards the West is a negative displacement whereas distance towards East is a positive displacement.

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

If Ravi moves further to 37km West then his displacement will be :

37 - 28 = 9 km

9 kilometers to the West is his resultant displacement.

The distance traveled towards West is represented as a positive integer by writing :

37 km West.

If do not indicate it as West then we will represent it as a negative integer.
