Question

suisplacement?
2. A person walks along the sides of a square field.
Each side is 100 m long. What is the maximum
magnitude of displacement of the person in any
time interval?​

Answer 1

Answer:

the side is 100m

the diagonal direct it into two equal right angled triangle.

in which diagonal is maximum length

• If the person travels any one side the displacement will be less than diagonal
• If the person travels from one point to another point on opposite side then also displacement will be less than diagonal
• if the person travels to a point on adjacent side then also the displacement would be less than diagonal.

So diagonal is the maximum displacement = 100√2m
